The URL patterns that are most useful for embedding within P2PU are
(1) http://jsfiddle.net/user/slug/embedded/
(2) http://jsfiddle.net/user/slug/embedded/tabs/
and perhaps
(3) http://jsfiddle.net/user/slug/show/
No need for anonymous fiddles, unembedded fiddles or skins. Tabs above means
any comma separated combination of {result, html, js, css and resources}. I
include case (3) because it in essence allows for a generic <iframe> from
jsFiddle.net and blessed as safe if supported by embed.ly.
