I am using a wmd-editor in django, much like this one in which I am typing. I would like to allow the users to embed videos in it. For that I am using the Markdown video extension here. The problem is that I am also sanitizing user input using html5lib sanitization and it doesn't allow object tags which are required to embed the videos.

One solution could be to check the input for urls of well-known video sites and skip the sanitization in those cases. Is there a better solution?
