<trackbot> ISSUE-165 -- Drop rel=pingback -- raised

<trackbot> http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/165

<pimpbot> Title: ISSUE-165: Drop rel=pingback - HTML Weekly Tracker (at www.w3.org)

bug 12224?

<pimpbot> 11http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12224 contributor, P3, RESOLVED WONTFIX, 13Drop rel=pingback. The Pingback spec seems dead and unused, and redundant with the Referer header.

Julian: wanted to clarify that this is issue a metadata. pingback is in the registry but the issue is really about whether it should be part of hte html spec or not
... pingback isn't defined in the html spec

Paul: was that made it clear in the actual bug?

<paulc_> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12224#c4

<pimpbot> 1112224: contributor, P3, RESOLVED WONTFIX, 13Drop rel=pingback. The Pingback spec seems dead and unused, and redundant with the Referer header.

Julian: I think it was

Paul: it would help if the issue more clearly identified the meta nature of the issue

Hober: the purpose of the registry is to avoid name conflicts.

Julian: moving from the registry into the spec implies that the spec changes continuously, which is a matter arguing between W3C and WHATWG.

Paul: I'll stop the debate here, since we'll deal with this during LC
