 several embeddable formats.

 Just a couple of notes:

  * You shouldn't pass an array as $places to add_rewrite_endpoint(). AFAIK
 the binary representation of an array is "1" so it works for EP_PERMALINK,
 but try the same code but with EP_PAGES and it will still add the endpoint
 to post permalinks. This was a documentation error previously.
  * WP_Rewrite::add_endpoint() will add the query var for you. I guess that
 since you're hooking into admin_init to add_rewrite_endpoint() it's not
 going to work unless you hook into init instead.
