Comment(by cabel):

 Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my bug.

 First, I'm not totally sure I would call this an "enhancement" request as
 I'm literally losing data every time I edit or open this post. Switching
 to "Visual" at any point should never, in my opinion at least, delete
 large chunks of your crafted HTML and replace it with nothing at all.
 Sounds like a great preference, at least -- "Preserve unknown HTML". Wait,
 that's an enhancement request, isn't it? Nuts.

 (I only say this because I keep forgetting about the situation, and I keep
 going to edit tiny things on that post, and it keeps wiping out the video
 entirely, and I keep not noticing until later, and I keep having to
 revert. Anyway.)

 Fortunately, as we're a Mac software house, our users are predominately
 <video> capable. After posting a <video> video, we received literally zero
 comments that the video couldn't be seen. Hooray. The time is now! :)

 Thanks for the suggestion on the plug-in front. I'll look into it now.
