<p>Hixie has <a href="http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1032794857&amp;count=1" title="Pingback 1.0">published</a> the <a href="http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback-1.0" title="Pingback 1.0 Specification">specification for Pingback 1.0</a>. In general the specification is an excellent document, but I'm not entirely happy with the following statement:</p> <blockquote cite="http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback-1.0"><p> HTML and XHTML documents MAY include a &lt;link&gt; element in addition to an HTTP header, although this is discouraged.</p></blockquote> <p>Some Pingback clients (in particular bookmarklets, although to my knowledge none have been written yet) are expected to be unable to parse headers - which is the primary reason for including the link element method of auto discovery. I would therefore suggest that anyone wishing to pingback-enable their HTML or XHTML documents should include a Pingback link element in addition to the HTTP header.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hixie">hixie</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pingback">pingback</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/specification">specification</a></p>

<p>I just realised I haven't linked to the <a href="http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback">Pingback specification</a> yet, so here it is. The spec has been carefully assembled by Ian Hickson and, although it is still a working draught, should be the first stop for anyone who wishes to create a Pingback implementation.</p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/hixie">hixie</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pingback">pingback</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/specification">specification</a></p>
