I'm super-happy to see WebMention get some good press. However, there is 
a point that the article makes rather correctly re spam, and it applies 
not only to WebMention but any federated system.

While unforunately W3C/ERCIM didn't renew my D-CENT contract, we're 
booting up a new research project at INRIA and University College London 
to look at this problem called NEXTLEAP. The same researchers behind it 
are the folks who discovered the TLS attacks and statistical disclosure 
attacks on Tor, so expect some good work in this space to be fed to the 
W3C shortly. I'm sure its a solvable problem.
