trackback url auto discovery

Pligg seems to do a few things to try and auto discover a submissions trackback url, which is good. But on Wordpress blogs its looking for hyperlink text to discover the trackback url and it's looking for the word trackback ONLY, not as part of a word. For example:

Code:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/perma-link/title/trackback/">Trackback this item</a>
DOES NOT get detected by Pligg.

Code:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/perma-link/title/trackback/">Trackback</a>
DOES get detected by Pligg.

My suggestion is to detect the generator tag to see what software wrote it and then try that software's trackback url instead of relying on something that can be controlled by the user on the template level. Wordpress, newer versions at least, always do domains.com/permalink/trackback/

If I want trackback auto discover to work with word press I have to use the word "trackback" *ONLY* as the hyperlink text to get discovered.

Minor issue, I know, but something that could be fixed pretty easy.
