 * I would like to let you know that there is a problem withe the OpenID preprocess_comment
   hook defined as the openid_process_comment function.
 * When a site ping a post within a blog that has OpenID enabled the ping will not
   be added and the site sending the ping will receive a response saying:
 * Error: please fill the required fields (name, email).
 * I tracked down this to the openid_require_name_email() function, called in the
   openid_process_comment function.
 * What do you think? Shouldn’t be possibile to bypass the openid controls if the
   comment type is “pingback” or “trackback”?
    Or do you know a solution to this?
