Yes. The proposal from Tara Star gave me the idea. It was crystalized by 
the implementation suggested by Matt:

"Addtional field in category table (like category_trackback) with a 
newline separated list of URIs to ping when a post is made to a 
category. Then use the publish/edit action hooks to do the proper 
pinging when a post is published. Already pinged URIs should be saved in 
the post level field for this. "

Really sorry if I trod on some feet. Didn't expect to do it this fast, 
or that it'd be adopted this fast. I just had some free time this 
afternoon and sent the code to Matt for an opinion. Tomorrow morning 
I'll send the patches to the list (everything is on the office PC ...).

I sure hope it's a compliment :-)

Cheers,
