--- Comment #5 from Brion Vibber <br...@wikimedia.org> ---
I would recommend strongly against embedding arbitrary URLs, as that just
sounds like trouble to deal with (DoS, cache invalidation, who knows what else
:)

However being able to embed a file that's uploaded to the wiki? Might be useful
for things like gadgets and site scripts -- that can also do handy things like:

* abstract the low-level URL from the file (even if you don't embed)
* guard against embedding overlarge files

Perhaps something specific to ResourceLoaderWikiModule...
