Maybe I'm overly concerned with validation, but my recommendation concerns the SYNTAX of embedding YouTube vids... the <embed> tag and 'un-escaped' ampersands that YouTube 'suggest' fail :(

The following (using a Webmasterworld vid) is valid (in HTML 4 strict) :)

<p> 
  <object  type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  
      data="http://www.youtube.com/v/i6YO4yS4RHk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"  
      width="425"  
      height="344"  
      id="VideoPlayback"> 
   <param  name="movie" 
        value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i6YO4yS4RHk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"> 
   <param  name="allowScriptAcess"  
        value="sameDomain"> 
   <param  name="quality"  
        value="best"> 
   <param  name="bgcolor"  
        value="#ffffff"> 
   <param  name="scale"  
        value="noScale"> 
   <param  name="salign"  
        value="TL"> 
   <param  name="FlashVars"  
        value="playerMode=embedded"> 
  </object>
