It's even worse if you're ill for a week, and come back to it.
Reading earlier threads not knowing if it has all been sorted out.

I, too, want to backup the case for simplicity.
I also think the simpler the model, the more likely it is it will be
taken into existing blogging software. As it stands, I can see MT
taking PingBack like a shot, especially as it is very similar to
TrackBack. If you present PingBack+ with its multiple functions and
layers, they might quite easily say "Too complicated to implement in
the next release; explain it again please?"

All the lot of these ideas are really interesting and would be great
to implement.
