Comment (by Otto42):

 16996-filter.diff adds the simplest filter to get the job done that I can
 think of.

 With this filter, a plugin could enable arbitrary parameters using code
 like this:
 {{{
 add_filter('oembed_fetch_url', 'foo', 10, 3);
 function foo($provider, $args, $url) {
         foreach ($args as $key=>$value) {
                 switch ($key) {
                 case 'width':
                 case 'height':
                 case 'discover': // ignore these args
                         break;
                 default:
                         $provider = add_query_arg( $key, $value, $provider
 );
                         break;
                 }
         }
         return $provider;
 }
 }}}

 Alternatively, it could use the URL param to be more discrete about it.
 The provider url string is passed whole, so things like remove_query_arg
 could be used to remove the width, for example (this is somewhat desirable
 sometimes with Twitter's oembed implementation).
