Comment (by dmchale):

 As much as I like this idea - i really do - I think Viper007Bond makes a
 very strong argument.

 WraithKenny, you're correct that oEmbed discovery could be disabled by
 default, but I would then have to ask... if it's disabled by default, why
 are we including it in core? I guess it would allow you to certainly embed
 content from your own sites that you control, but at that point doesn't
 that smell strongly like plugin territory?

 I think the safest way to accomplish something like this would be what is
 suggested in #32955 and do this WITHOUT oEmbed. If we allow WordPress to
 generate an embed similar to how Facebook does it, we can still draw data
 from ANY other website on the internet to create a preview. No, it's not a
 full embed but this is a compromise. If we implemented something like that
 inside core, we could even rely on the existing OpenGraph meta tags that
 Facebook uses - website owners are already providing that information
 anyway.

 $total += 0.02;
