Comment(by Viper007Bond):

 Updated plan is shortcodes. Custom, "hard coded" shortcodes for widely
 used sites such as YouTube. This allows extended options like colors, etc.
 that you can't control with oEmbed.

 Falls back to oEmbed for unsupported sites, but the oEmbed shortcode is
 capability controlled. Requires that the author have `unfiltered_html`
 cap, else they could run their own oEmbed provider and inject "any" HTML
 they want (even if it's kses'ed, they could still do bad stuff via Flash).
