Comment:

 This is HTML validity issue. The `<embed>` tag is invalid in both HTML 4
 and XHTML 1. Also all attributes like `name` have to be in lower case in
 XHTML 1. It seems TinyMCE has properly converted "allowFullScreen" to
 lower case but hasn't removed the invalid version. Will pass this upstream
 to the TinyMCE team.

 If you need to support the non-standard tags for embedding video in your
 RSS feed, perhaps use a plugin specifically written for that.
