oEmbed indeed looks interesting; this is the first time I heard about it. :)
I'll note for the record that while not exactly an oEmbed implementation, the YouTube extension [1] has allowed the <youtube>some YouTube URL goes here</youtube> syntax for embedding YT videos since late 2013 [2]. This isn't exactly advertised on any of the related documentation pages, though (bug #1 and all that stuff). Likewise, this syntax isn't available for any of the smaller providers as someone who speaks regex natively has to write the regexes for those (patches welcome!).
