Comment (by melchoyce):

 > In embed-test-2.jpg​, is there any reason why it couldn't be the width
 of the post? Presumably we can ask the source site for an appropriately
 sized feature image.

 It wouldn't handle edge-cases well — if someone has a super wide post
 area, the featured image could get ''really'' big.

 The full width of Twenty Fifteen is very reasonable, but even that's
 starting to reach the upper level of what's comfortable:

 (At a nice post width it ''does'' look pretty good, though)

 > A problem that I'd like to consider - most oEmbeds work by inserting an
 iframe pointing back at the source site. Do we want to go that route
 (allowing source sites complete control over their content), or do we want
 to cache the embed data on the host site (allowing styling of the embed,
 and making sure the embed is still available if the source site does
 down).

 I'm not sure I have an opinion on this, since I can see the argument for
 either. Is there a best practice?
