My consensus-o-meter says that ping should be removed from the specification. I see no actual implementations, demonstrated evidence that it is a bad idea, and an overwhelming number of comments that indicate it isn't desirable in HTML. There is no evidence whatsoever to indicate it is ready for standardization, and all you are doing at this point is ignoring the substantive objections by adding more hacks around an inherently broken and undesirable feature. In other words, you are wasting our time. ....Roy
