I have a feeling if there is one it might not be 'offical', if you get my meaning.
I understand the hot linking thing. Which never really made sense to me because if I were running a video showing website, you'd think allowing hotlinking would produce more revenue with the ads on the videos. And would promote the website its on.

As for the code, I posted what I said and then looked up to see if I could find it and came to the same conclusion. With no "official" code it could be a risk depending on where an unofficial line of code is coming from. Some people are sneaky with code and in terms of CSS, I believe you can set certain words or phrases to act as line of code, which to a blind eye can be disasterous.
