Oembed service implementation

[dave]

For consideration.

Based on reference from  http://oembed.com

oEmbed is an open format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.

Wordpress already implements a client side for this, allowing users to simply post a url to a resource, and automatically have that service provide the data to embed in their post or page.

There is already django-oembed, ruby-oembed, jquery-oembed, drupal-oembed, Typo3 Extension etc that allow developers to create sites that use oembed to parse URL's and automatically embed content in their sites.

This would allow other sites to simply post a link to a plumi resource, and have that resource automatically embed the data for them, no need to copy and paste the embed code.

It is a simple JSON / XML response to a request of a service.
