Building a better TrackBack...

Ian Hickson: Pingback 1.0. "The best thing about this idea is that unlike similar schemes like TrackBack, it is totally transparent to both users." [via dive into mark]

The concept is simple, the tech is easy (XML-RPC), and the spec is well-written. I like it, except for one thing: it assumes that the Pingback server will be integrated with the CMS. That's not going to be the case with static tools like Radio, they'll need stand-alone Pingback servers that can store pings until the CMS retrieves them. It's not a huge problem, but it would have been nice if they had spec'd an API for that.
