I don't. I saw - and see - pingback as a tool for webloggers. Making it
a general purpose "I linked to you" opens it further to abuse. When it
was a way of tracking conversation within the community, I support it.
As something that is done better by reading your referal logs, I
disagree with it.

This is something of which I was unaware, and am now going to ignore.
Why? Because having read the above, and looked around it, the *only*
meta header profile I can find is the Dublincore one, and there are
/none/ that support the generally used Description and Keyword tags.

When you said this, I thought that this was some strange <link> tag
thing I hadn't seen before. The fact that rel=bookmark is actually
defined somewhere before never even occoured to me :-)
I've moved it to being called "Blogroll"
