+1  if you mean allow an asset to be what is essentially the embed code
coming from a site like youtube or blip.tv. I'm building a site right now
where a client will be doing some videoblogging via blip.tv or Viddler, and
I'm using a customfield to hold the embed code and keep it separate from the
main body text - it's my first foray into podcasting and videoblogging, so
if I've missed a trick please let me know !

Anyway - I smell a pre New Year dinner and drink(s) being prepared, so I
wish everyone a fantastic New Year (and a huge well done to Byrne, Brad,
Chris and all the team at Six Apart - the last 6 months have been very
exciting for MT and I'm sure this will continue) !
