 ===== Feedback =====
   * Please provide ideas and feedback in this section.  Also feel free to fill in details for other types of links to be supported.  Each section should have the original link, the HTML to generate and ideally the PHP code that does the conversion (optional).
+    * In the example above, how will mantis know the dimensions of the movie URL? In fact, how does it know it's a movie?  Should mantis do a HEAD method on the URL and peek at the content type?
