Probably not. The current Youtube embed code uses an iframe call to insert a page into the web site. If we allow iframe tags, then we open a huge security hole, so we disallow iframe calls.
Perhaps someday I'll have time to try to only allow Youtube iframes, but it's a bit of a spaghetti coding task and could have some degree of risk.
With Chrome, you can allow flash video by web site domain which might be an option for you.
