Comment (by Otto42):

 I disagree. One would expect an obvious behavior, the code does not have
 that expected behavior. Therefore, it's a bug.

 1. I agree that the spec sucks. YouTube has specifically created a scheme
 parameter workaround because of this. There is no reason to not to use it.

 2. It is perfectly acceptable to put https content into an http page, and
 this is not typically considered to be "mixed content". The reverse of
 putting http into https pages, however, generates mixed content warnings,
 and that is indeed a problem. So basically, you're saying here that we
 should not support the case which is an actual problem because the
 totally-not-a-real-problem case is more common?

 3. The core does not need any https front end logic baked in for it to do
 the right thing for oembed when it is explicitly given an https URL.
