I thought the techs were supposed to be doing something about making the video tag more generally usable for other services? Jimbojw has one extension that looks interesting, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo Perhaps it would be best to merge functionality of multiple extensions, extend for a few more services (I can think of Stage6[noted] and Veoh as other used ones), and create a new one for use (Keeping the old <youtube /> tag for backwards compatibility.
It may also be advantageous to be able to use local stuff in some cases?
But I can think an advantage EmbedVideo has, it's using a Parser Function instead of a Parser Tag, so it will work nicely with temples, so if we used the syntax {{#video:youtube|id}} then someone could create a {{YouTube|id}} tag which would also do things like allowing for framing and other stuff.

At the moment, no, there isn't a way to do this.  But I would guess
that it wouldn't be too hard to adapt the code, if there was a high
enough demand for it...

Like we can do with the <youtube> tags??
