> The original wording "the application embedding it is responsible" is the
grammatical version: "embedding it" is a reduced relative clause meaning "the
application that embeds Lucene", so the "it" (= Lucene) is required as the
object of "embedding". Dropping it leaves "the application embedding", which
reads as a noun phrase ("an embedding of applications"?) and no longer says
what embeds what.
I understand the explanation. I also swear I read the sentence 10 times and
couldn't get the meaning of it... :)
