I agree, that's a good add. I don't know if new users will instinctively
"get it" without reading a bit more documentation, but it's a pretty
complete synopsis of how to do an oEmbed.
I think it might not be a bad idea to add a little "hint" ext into the Add
Media section to help people figure out the new gallery functionality as
well. At this point it is basically a hidden feature since it's not
immediately clear how to create a gallery (if you're a new user, anyway)
Something like this?
'''Add Media''' - You can upload and insert media (images, audio, document
files, etc.) by clicking the '''Add Media''' button. Select from images
and files already uploaded to the Media Library, or upload new media to
add to your page or post. To create an image gallery, simply select
multiple images to add.
It's not perfect (in lieu of more complete documentation) but it's a
start...
