Hello, There is a security concern that is generally not taken care of in oEmbed solutions: if one uses these solutions to provide media display of user input, one has to take care of malicious users filling their input with dozens or hundreds of links. (posted in order to clutter the other viewers' pages) So I wonder if there is a simple way with micawber to limit the number of links parsed. Thanks

This unfortunately is not easy given the way I've implemented micawber. Perhaps you could just ensure that the inbound text is only so long?
