Can we have an embed tag?
Does askbot support the embedded video tag? We tried the <embed...> tag, but the text showed up, not the player.
Note that in the preview window, the video actually showed up.

OK, one way is to add markdown extension that reconizes links to video hosting services, you'd just need to copy-past the youtube, etc. url and it would render into the embedded object tag. Uploading videos is another possibility, but that requires being able to stream them.

File askbot/utils/markup.py defines the extension for urls, something along the lines will be required to support more specifically defined urls (youtube, blip.tv videos and such)

I would not like to use tags straight up in the input because non-computer savvy people will not do it.
