 * I wouldn’t mind, but I have no real clue as to how to do that 🙂 Will look into
   it.
 * Although, it involves both a bit of CSS and a rewrite of the function itself,
   IIRC.
 * **Edit:**_Okay, ticket submitted, with code_
 * Okay, if the function for embedding things automatically pulls the Youtube-code,
   I can see how it’s not compliant – the Youtube embed-code is horrible. I guess
   I’ll just have to forget about that bit, and chalk that up to third-party crap
   code.

 * How can it be the mercy of TinyMCE? The caption-code is a function somewhere 
   in the wordpress-files, and you can (and I have) rewrite it in your own functions.
   php – just change the built-in function to begin with. The caption is a shortcode,
   nothing more.
 * As for using plugins for the video embeds, that’s not an option. I want to know
   where the automatic parsing resides, and try to write a new version of it – this
   is for a theme-build, and I don’t want it to output crappy code – not to mention
   that the embed-code doesn’t even provide a wmode=”transparent” (or opaque) so
   as to render HTML in front of Flash-video – another omission which basically 
   renders the whole thing useless.
 * Yes, I know I could probably provide a function to add a specific shortcode around
   video-links, but this would still have to be explained, and I would rather that
   minor fixes like this was actually implemented.
