 > More to the point, post types don't need a hierarchy for embeds, because
 that's not the purpose of post types. A custom Post Type is not just some
 special kind of "Page" after all.

 hierarchy at all. It doesn't make sense to include them:

 I have many examples why you should considered post-types and why it makes
 sense to include them:

 * '''Code snippets post-type''', when embedded, will show the code in a
 beautiful code editor, with it's own JS and CSS. I can do it easily using
 `embed-snippet.php`.

 * '''Maps post-type''', when embedded, will show only the map. I don't
 need the site title, the description, or the other elements the default
 embed template present. With `embed-map.php` I can embed only the map.

 * '''Video post-type''', when embedded, will show a player like youtube.
 The player has it's own embed button. We don't want to use the the default
 embed buttons. `embed-video.php` is the solution.

 * '''Presentations post-type''', when embedded, will show the
 presentations player using `embed-presentation.php`.

 The new embed-templates for specific post-types will make it easier to
 build complex application using WordPress.
