Comment(by markjaquith):

 We received some more information on this one. This can be used to sneak
 spam past moderation. And none of the solutions we looked at could solve
 the issue of someone using a Trackback URL of
 "http://wordpress.org/foobar123", and then putting spam (or just
 hateful/undesired content) into the body. We're just going to drop this
 feature entirely.
