 > For themes that support post formats though, special templates for embed
 per format make more sense.

 I understand your logic, different embed templates for text, video, audio
 and other formats. It's nice. But the problem with post formats is that
 it's a closed list of formats. Developers can't add new formats. And (my)
 clients usually skip the formats - they prefer to add another taxonomy
 term for videos.

 Also, I work with israeli startups and almost all my projects use custom
 post types (+95%). '''With post types I can create new "formats" like code
 snippets, presentations, maps, polls, etc'''. Post types provides more
 control to developers with `single-{post-type}.php` and `archive-{post-
 type}.php`.

 Each one of those new post-types needs a different embed template. This is
 why I think `embed-{post-type}.php` is better - its consistent with the
 current template hierarchy.
