Comment (by markjaquith):

 The [http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec Trackback
 technical specification] says that {{{title}}} is optional... so that
 should be fixed (generally... not just with MSN-specific code).

 I don't think that there was a specific reason for filtering ! out (it was
 probably just forgotten, since it works with a list of ''allowed''
 characters), so unless anyone objects, that should go in, too.

 The only thing I'm not sure about is what to use at the title if the
 trackback title is omitted.  If we leave it blank, the templates will show
 a blank hyperlink.  We could visit the URL and extract the {{{<title />}}}
 ...
