I'd be surprised if the number of nested elements ever became a problem in
reality. I can't see us coming up with more than 4 or 5 PingBack methods at
the most, and most PingBack files will never get more complicated than
"email me if you can't ping me". Complexity could be an issue though
(especially with namespaces). Whatever happens, I will be more than happy
to put together a nice friendly pingback-file-generating Wizzard for the
PingBack site to help people generate their own files so having a slightly
more complex file format shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Cheers,

Simon
