 According to [http://www.hixie.ch/specs/pingback/pingback the pingback
 spec], the XMLRPC server should accept two parameters in the RPC for
 pingback.

 WordPress seems to accept a single array parameter for pingbacks, in
 addition to two separate parameters.  While this is more permissive
 behavior than what is required, and obviously it works, I'm not sure if it
 is indicative of a larger issue in handling XMLRPC requests properly,
 since it really shouldn't accept the single array's two elements as two
 separate parameters to the RPC.
