Description
With some Serendipity blogs the trackbacks havn't work for a long time. As I hope that there will be standards to interact between diffeent blog systems one day, I wrote an article today about this topic.
One s9y linked to me, but as usual the trackback didn't work. After researching a bit I found out, that it works if the post includes the rdf-data.
Now I put the command
trackback_rdf()
into the single.php of the theme and since then it is working.
I hav't expected that, I tought a function like that has to be inside the core code.
I mean it ist wrong that the themes have to take care for that.

Just for reference in case someone wants to write a patch:
if ( is_singular() ) {
setup_postdata($wp_the_query->get_queried_object());
if ( pings_open() )
add_action('wp_head', 'add_trackback_rdf');
}
Where add_trackback_rdf() wraps trackback_rdf() into a comment block.
That way, the rdf is in the <head> area, in case auto-discovery only scans the target page's first couple of lines.

I've asked someone using a serendipity blog. Serendipity searches for the rdf-trackback inside the body of a post. Therefore, I don't think it will help if the data occurs in the header instead of the body.
PS: I've tried to get subscribed to the hackers mailing list you mentioned for my issue 10029 but I didn't have success until now, with two different mail addresses. Am I too impatient or is it normal that the subscription may need more than almost a day? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Well, please be so kind to tell them that is very wrong. They should look into the <head> area too, since a least some themes add it in there due to the fact that some autodiscovery scripts only grab the first couple of lines of the file...

There's a separate ticket on this -- it's yet to be fixed, best I'm aware. I don't read the hackers list regularly, myself, as the interesting stuff usually occurs during WP meet-ups over on irc.freenode.net, channel wordpress-dev.
Replying to Denis-de-Bernardy:
I thought it works with the additional trackback-command, but it does not work in every case.
Just today I did not receive a trackback from a serendipity blog despite there exists a link to the post.
Therefore I think it is not an enhancement it is a bug.
