trackback auto-discovery

I have a new macro that i'd like to throw into the weblog.vm file.  It displays an html comment which is used for trackback auto-discovery.  The idea is that above each entry you would put #showTrackbackAutodiscovery($entry) and you get this nice little html comment.

When you have these embedded in the page then you can use a scriptlet to find them and auto populate the data for doing a trackback.  A scenerio would be ... I browse over to Dave's new post about Roller 2.0 screenshots and want to leave a trackback, so I hit my scriptlet and it automatically finds the trackback info and prepopulates a form which I can use to post to my weblog.  I have used this a number of times with MovableType and it's very convenient.

Anyone see any problems with this?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Has anyone checked to see if every Theme's Weblog template has an
RSS/Atom autodiscovery link?
