Markup: Allow embedding a YouTube video in markdown files
It would be nice if one could just use a special markup to quickly embed a YouTube video in a markdown files. Sometimes, it is handy to illustrate features with a video and converting to gif or linking the video is not always the best option...

We're discussing moving to a more formal standard like CommonMark. Realistically, we won't be introducing any more changes to the Markdown spec on our own. Sorry for any trouble this may cause.

That response was a bit short for such an awesome feature request. Maybe github could allow some sort of exception for an iframe that renders a youtube video?

This iframe strategy on StackOverflow looked promising. However, it does not work in my repo's READ.md file.
