Comment (by fabricecanel):

 Replying to [comment:22 dd32]:

 > Before this proposal is really viable to consider for WordPress
 inclusion (IMHO) there needs to be industry support on it being a
 generalised system that allows for all players (small and large) to be
 supported without additional need from site authors or software vendors.

 Next month, we will disclose far more on wide industry support.

 > To me, it seems that having client websites actively "pinging" select
 search engines added in WordPress core is not exactly open, I would want
 anyone interested in the data being able to access a stream of the changes
 - and having them get their crawler added to WordPress seems like a high
 barrier to entry.

 WordPress and other CMS admins will be able to able to select which actors
 in the industry they want to notify, including everybody via centralized
 services if they want to notify all.

 > I'm assuming that one of the reasons for this approach, based on the
 inclusion of a per-site key that can be validated through a HTTP callback,
 is that the existing methods include a lot of spam and lack of any way to
 verify that whom sent the request is actually the author of it. Monitoring
 the Blo.gs feed definitely shows a LOT of spam. While the key verification
 will allow verifying it is who they say they are, it won't prevent spam
 being pushed into the system.

 Right... we are fighting day and night against spam, and we cannot trust
 and often cannot use without verification. Too easy to spam with ping
 random URLs on plenty of websites you don't own.
