Comment(by Otto42):

 Question: YouTube does support oEmbed. Even has discovery. So, why a
 special handler for it?

 oEmbed link:
 http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v%3D-
 UUx10KOWIE&format=xml

 And in the source of the video's html page here:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UUx10KOWIE

 You find this:
 {{{
 <link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed"
 href="http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v
 %3D-UUx10KOWIE&format=json" title="Jude Law:  My Take On Peace Video
 Contest" />
 <link rel="alternate" type="text/xml+oembed"
 href="http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch?v
 %3D-UUx10KOWIE&format=xml" title="Jude Law:  My Take On Peace Video
 Contest" />
 }}}
