For consideration.
Based on reference from http://oembed.com
oEmbed is an open format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL
on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded
content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that
resource, without having to parse the resource directly.
Wordpress already implements a client side for this, allowing users to
simply post a url to a resource, and automatically have that service
provide the data to embed in their post or page.

There is already django-oembed, ruby-oembed, jquery-oembed, drupal-oembed,
Typo3 Extension etc that allow developers to create sites that use oembed
to parse URL's and automatically embed content in their sites.
This would allow other sites to simply post a link to a plumi resource,
and have that resource automatically embed the data for them, no need to
copy and paste the embed code.
It is a simple JSON / XML response to a request of a service.
