 > Also, the X-Pingback header is only one way of providing server auto-
 discovery; the other is the `<link>` HTML head element, which is baked
 into many WP themes.

 ... including the default Twenty Ten.

 I asked on the dev channel the other day if we really need that in Twenty
 Ten’s HTML head.  I mean, are there clients the rely on it and only it?
 And, if yes, are they of a kind that we should care about?
