Re: Rename comment.php to reduce trackback spam?

Hi!
I believe the URL of the RDF-declaration can be modified through plugin event hooks.
One could append a token ID "&token=234234sadf", a plugin creates a DB entry that declares the validity of that token and its timeout, and when comment.php is called, the event hooks there check the token URL.
Having said this, I believe the only thing this will do is that spammers WILL harvest real html pages and create even more bandwidth to your blog. I'm afraid this could cause more harm than it could do good...
Best regards,
Garvin
