Comment (by siobhan):

 Replying to [comment:2 danielbachhuber]:
 > oEmbed is tough because the links essentially have to be ''perfectly''
 formatted for it to work.

 The problem is that users don't know that they have to be perfectly
 formatted, so they think that there's something wrong with WordPress.

 > Idea: When TinyMCE ''thinks'' it could be an embed, but isn't sure, we
 could have a little tooltip that says "did you mean to embed this?"

 Something like that could work - at least a way to alert the user that
 they're doing something wrong and that they should correct it.
