 Currently, when embedding a Tweet that has an external link, WordPress
 imports the string value from the link element with the
 type="application/json+oembed" attribute that includes a URL shortener
 t.co.

 My understanding is that t.co is also a tracker for Twitter's analytics
 and it doesn't seem necessary for WordPress to support this.

 It makes sense for WordPress' oEmbed feature to use the data attribute
 "data-expanded-url" that contains the original URL.
