Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 There appear to be some misconceptions in the linked article:
 * There is no `kpembed-20` tag anywhere in WordPress core.
 * If you view the page source for
 https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=1119666945 for example, it has the
 `kpembed-20` tag without any WordPress involvement. It appears to be used
 by Amazon internally for embeds.
