How to embed YouTube content using valid XHTML

Add

It seems that the good folks at YouTube have seen fit to wrap their player in invalid markup. Yes that’s right, the code you copy from YouTube to embed clips will invalidate your site. If you want to post Youtube content and remain valid, you can do so by doing something like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:450px; height:366px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/hTPkCSvGhV0">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hTPkCSvGhV0" />
</object>
