Pingback changes/improvements

My ResourceMe managed WebID profile [1] finally supports Pingback. I've
implemented it slightly different than the spec defines currently. The
reason for this was lack of covering the endpoint authentication use
case. Authentication is very important, also in the early stages,
otherwise people may compare it to SMTP, with all the implicated spam
and spoofing problems. With WebID we have already an elegant way to
solve this problem. But also we should have a look at the other
authentication mechanisms that require a page flow. So here a link to my
proposed spec changes/improvements [2].
