 From [9012], WP sends trackback/pingback using urlencoded text.

 [9012] introduces HTTP api to send trackback/pingback. But in this
 changeset, WP sends blog-title, uri and excerpt in url-encoded format.
 So pinged/trackbacked blog displays some strangely formatted trackback
 like,

 {{{
 blog+title // title
 http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org%2F111 // uri
 blah+blah+blah+%23%21%40%23%24 // excerpt
 }}}

 This behavior is caused by passing arguments of HTTP api in urlencoded
 text. (wp-includes/comment.php:1312)

 To fix this problem, I've patched current working version of trunk like
 following diff.
 {{{
