Reintroduce the ping attribute in HTML5.3?

Everyone,

The ping attribute was removed from HTML5.0 because the WG felt it 
lacked implementation and was unsuitable for standardisation. It remains 
in the WWG version of the HTML spec however.

According to caniuse.com [1], Chrome/Opera and Safari support the ping 
attribute, Firefox has support behind the browser.send_pings flag but 
it's disabled by default, and neither Edge nor IE support it at all.

The question is therefore whether we should reintroduce the ping 
attribute in HTML5.3? Comments on the open issue are welcome:
