markdig currently supports a very specific list of media embedding as described in:
https://github.com/lunet-io/markdig/blob/master/src/Markdig.Tests/Specs/MediaSpecs.md

I was wondering if there was ever serious consideration of implementing an oEmbed client inside markdig and support embedding of foreign content in a more generalized way...

There seems to be a very full functional client called embedo which does all the magic, in theroy of embedding various 3rd part contents inside existing html.

Would using embedo (as in generating embedo code on the generated html) be something markdig devs would accept as a PR?
If not, would implementing oEmbed calls be something that markdig devs would be willing to incorporate?

From what I see there a various embedding "specs" to consider:
