This still doesn't "force" it to work. As a user-tracking-implementer
doing it for money, I want to make absolutely sure I count properly.
That means forcing people to hit the counter _before_ even telling them
where they're going, so they can't get around it. There's no way to do
this with ping=.

The audience of people who would use tracking is huge. The audience of
people who would use ping= is, for the reasons I said before, much much
smaller.
Like I said before, I like the semantics of ping=. But it doesn't fit
into the usage model that advertisers and other trackers want.
Semantically, I want notification and linking to be separate. In usage,
they want them to be linked. They seem to me to be mutually exclusive.
You have a point. Yet, you shouldn't forget that most of the tracking done
today by advertisers is with JavaScript, with Flash :(, with iframes, and
in general with ugly stuff that can be disabled.
You'll see the point I'll be making in another reply.
