 Replying to [comment:1 westonruter]:
 > Another piece to consider is the error message when providing a embed
 URL. Let's say you try to add a video by supplying the oEmbed URL itself:
 https://videopress.com/v/OAVHZIvv This then should not be rejected. In
 order to do that we should be exporting all of the
 `\WP_oEmbed::$providers` to the client so that we can check against them
 instead of statically only looking for YouTube or Vimeo as we do with
 hard-coding right now.

 Could we instead rely upon {{{oembed/proxy}}} to validate this for us?  If
 the url doesn't contain an extension, just use the new endpoint and see if
 it gets a valid response back - which utilizes the whitelist itself.
