My version:

    It is possible to track users without this feature, but authors are
    encouraged to use the |ping| attribute so that the user agent can  
improve
    the user experience.

Urged is ... a bit too "pushy". Also, "optimise" is not the appropriate  
word. I consider Lachlan's suggestion better: "improve", because that's  
what actually happends (improvement, not optimisation).
