Nit:

“You will need to firstly grab the GID of the speech or speeches you want to link to. You can get the GUID of a speech by copying it out of the “link to this” link on an OpenAustralia link”

I think that “GUID” was meant to be “GID”

You might have an easier time with this (particularly regarding performance and ongoing maintenance of your plugin) if you use the shortcode API to replace your tags.

[openaustralia gid="2009-06-02.29.38"]

Not too different, but much more familiar to WordPress users and developers.
