 SUMMARY:
 I'm trying to embed a new HTML5 style video in a post. But it's very
 difficult, as the Wordpress Editor is continually deleting my <video> HTML
 when I switch over to Visual to do some writing.

 STEPS TO REPRODUCE:[[BR]]
 1. Start a new post. Write a few words.[[BR]]
 2. Switch to "HTML"[[BR]]
 3. Paste in the following code:[[BR]]

 <video width="700" height="394" controls autobuffer="false"><source
 src="http://example.com/example.m4v" type="video/mp4" /></video>[[BR]]

 4. Switch to "Visual". (A large white space for the video should be
 present.)[[BR]]
 5. Switch back to "HTML".[[BR]]

 EXPECTED RESULTS:
 Nothing happens. My <video> tag remains and my code and post is unchanged.

 ACTUAL RESULTS:
 The entire <video> tag, and its contents, is gone!

 WORKAROUNDS:
 None that I can find, except to never touch the "Visual" tab, which is
 challenging...
