Well, depends on the workaround I suppose ;). The Zend client does allow for 
callback ID encoding within the callback URIs path. It's an opt-in "workaround" 
of sorts for Hubs not complying with later versions of the specification. It's 
problem, of sorts, is that the opt-in requires additional changes to 
application routing. Easy for me to say that since it was added months ago, we 
have examples, and kept it simple -  but doing it in a current application can 
be a chore. If you take something like Drupal or even Wordpress into account 
you have even worse problems - both are widely deployed in scenarios where 
doing things like adding workarounds and mod_rewrite rules isn't something the 
user can do and probably isn't something a developer is likely to commit to 
given the outdatedness of 0.1. Not saying that's the case, but it does edge 
Typepad out into the category of implementors who are shooting themselves in 
the foot by using an outdated specification
 new libraries would prefer not to accommodate.

Here's to the timeline being...soon :).

Not sure about Waleed, personally i try to stay away from workarounds.
'cause then you have workarounds for workarounds, and the loop
continues. And after few days workarounds collide, you look at the
code and are thinking, who wrote this pathetic code. In my case, i
code alone, so no one else to blame either :(
