    4 we recommend an open approach, open to all search engines having an API to receive notification of change.

    6 > If I'm interpreting this correctly, Bing has created and implemented an internal API for this, and is recommending other search engines follow their lead. But there is no agreed upon, standardized, and widely adopted way to do this. This would make implementing difficult as each provider could have their own requirements.

    8 We still need to have a verification mechanism to verify that a Site A does not publish URLs for a Site B as Site B may not be happy to see search engines crawler visiting URLs that it does not have or didn’t change; that’s where the crawler will help verifying ownership with some key solution design to establish.

    109> Unless this can happen seamlessly without user interaction, I'm still thinking this is not the best feature to include in WordPress Core directly. I'm not at all against the concept, it just seems this is too early for Core to support it industry wide. If there were an industry wide specification that everyone was adopting and using, this would be much easier.

     12> That said, I'm not against exploring ways to make this easier to accomplish. For example, maybe expanding how update services work.

     14> I'm wondering if @flixos90, @adamsilverstein, @westonruter, @swissspidy, or @tweetythierry can provide any insight into how and if this approach is being implemented on the Google side.
