 As of last week, this is the only type of twitter card that still needs
 manual whitelisting.

 Mostly, it seems like a relatively simple matter to provide the MP4 as
 twitter:player:stream meta to allow for inline playback on mobile Twitter
 clients. A URL to a static preview image would also need to be available
 for the twitter:image value.

 The only hard part would be to provide a page that shows the player all-
 by-itself, to fit with the requirements for the twitter:player parameter.
 But the existing player seems to fit within their guidelines, for the most
 part.

 I don't see any real impediments to adding this to the theme, and getting
 it whitelisted by Twitter should not be hard afterwards. I just think it
 would be pretty cool to have all the WordCamp videos show up inline
 whenever anybody links to them on Twitter.
