StatusNet runs a lot more sites than just identi.ca and *.status.net - you
can't possible create a whitelist for all of them. Why not support
discovery?

The same applies to Wordpress. I created a Wordpress OEmbed plugin - see
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-provider/ . I have no idea who
uses it, so populating your whitelist may be a challenge, but supporting
it could be a nice boost to your service.
