We've talked about this, see http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11436. We do not touch the HTML that is returned from an oEmbed provider *at all* except to remove line breaks (so it doesn't interfere with wpautop), something most providers don't return (I think it's against the spec, in fact).
The resolution to that ticket is that we are not interested in parsing HTML beyond what we already do. That said, a plugin can easily implement this, filters are in place. I think it's on my plugin to-do, but 3.0 is weighing me down.

But it should at least be available. _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
