As currently defined the ping="" attribute takes a space-separated list

URIs, so this should be already taken care of.

You can detect whether the UA supports it or not by putting the attribute
in uppercase:
<a href="http://example.com";
PING="redirect?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com">
...and then in the script checking to see if the ".ping" DOM attribute
exists or not. If it doesn't, copy the value of PING into href:
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i += 1)
if (!links[i].ping && links[i].getAttribute('ping'))
links[i].href = links[i].getAttribute('ping');
Run this script once per page and it'll switch you back to using the old
method of redirects, with the new user agents (that support ping) having
a
better UI. You could also do the same in reverse with slightly more
complicated JS if you wanted to default to the href="" method for non-JS
browsers (which would make sense until ping="" support is widespread).
Thanks for your input!
I wouldn't encourage 'ugly' hacks even before finishing the specification
:).
For this to work people also have to rely on JS.
