Does anyone know of a way to forces the HTML5 player to be used when a YouTube video is embedded in a webpage? I need to either force that or embed some other WCAG 2.0 compliant player for embedded videos hosted on YouTube.

Making accessible apps and websites is like putting ramps and wide doorways on a building; it's easier to do when you first build it, than to tear it apart and fix it later...

I complained to Google about this over 8 months ago, since then
nothing has happened.
We could try a Twitter campaign to get answers. I will start this afternoon.
