 I notice that when adding videos to the content using the 'Add Media'
 dialog, the URL of the video is added to an attribute named after the
 video's extension. For instance:

 {{{
 [video width="480" height="360"
 mp4="http://example.com/uploads/video.mp4"][/video]
 }}}

 This makes absolutely no sense. The expected would be:

 {{{
 [video width="480" height="360"
 src="http://example.com/uploads/video.mp4"][/video]
 }}}

 The problem with using an attribute named {{{mp4}}} is that, if you try to
 process the $attr array as passed to the {{{wp_video_shortcode_override}}}
 filter, things stop making any sense as you have to guess the attribute
 name based on a URL that is the value of that attribute!
