Nate, Alec -

Plone4ArtistsVideoEmbed is really cool -- elegant and simple.

I'm wondering outloud if it would make sense (or even be possible) to
harness these URL transforms as PortalTransforms (ala Wicked?), so that one
could simply put a tag like [[videoembed: <youtube-or-other-video-url>]]
into an existing document, and have it automatically transform into an
embedded video when the document gets saved.

This would let people embed videos into existing pages, which (at least
according to my clients) is what a lot folks seem to really want to do.


best,
jon
