Comment (by rmccue):

 We build XML via string manipulation in a lot of places (urgh), so that's
 an option, albeit a sucky one. If we do that, we need to be extremely
 careful about sanitisation, and not producing invalid UTF-8.

 I'd prefer not to; I think we could probably get away with a 501, since
 I'd expect lots of people are using JSON anyway. It's optional per the
 oEmbed spec anyway. (We could probably remove all of the XML handling if
 we really wanted; @swissspidy would know more about compatibility though.)
