Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 I disagree with making this proposed change. Manually making something a
 hyperlink is a good way to prevent embedding and it would also be a
 backward breaking change. People who previously didn't have an embed would
 suddenly have one without expecting it.

 It's not like having it be a hyperlink is bad -- readers are welcome to
 click through to the content. Authors should have to be slightly more
 specific if they want it to embed in my opinion.
