Blog post authors on Hacks often want to embed videos in their posts. Currently, only Admin users can do this, because only they have the 'unfiltered_html' capability. For example, this plug-ins provides this capability to ordinary authors: Artiss Code Embed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-embed-code/ However, it need not be this one, if you can find a better one. One that allows *only* videos would be more secure.
Based on bug 742718 and requests in IRC, it looks like there's a need for <audio> and <iframe> too.

Jake: Hey, someone that shall remain anonymous told me you're the go-to guy for Wordpress configs. :) Can you help here?

I'm not sure if that's a good plugin for this purpose or not, myself... but it seems at least reasonable. I have filed a bug to have AppSec review this plugin for you (all WP plugins and themes have to be reviewed before we can install them). Assuming it passes, you can move this bug to mozilla.org :: Server Operations: Web Operations to have the plugin installed for you. :)

The plug-in has been installed.
