Comment:

 According to the pingback spec:

 > Pages MUST NOT include more than one such element, and MUST NOT include
 such a string matching the pattern  described below unless it is intended
 to be the link element.

 Since adding this would potentially cause a number of problems we should
 probably not do this.

 In addition the spec says that if you send an X-Pingback http header then
 it is unnecessary to also include the <link> element.  The X-Pingback
 header will supersede the <link> element in the event of a discrepancy
 anyway.  So I don't think we lose anything by not adding this.

 Closing as wontfix.
