I think it should! I currently do this with my personal site via Koype. This is largely in the event that a consuming client wanted to opt for HEAD
requests before making a full-on GET
(expensive for the server; cheap for clients).

Hello!
In a conversation in IndieWeb IRC (in the
dev
channel) regarding the differences between the Webmention spec's endpoint discovery algorithm and the Micropub spec's endpoint discovery algorithm, @sknebel noted:I tend to agree that that should be the case. I don't have the historical context for why the two specs might differ as written (vs. how implementors are implementing…) so I can't comment on that.
But… given the generalized nature of "endpoint discovery" and the common means by which website's supply this information (e.g. a
<link>
element, aLink
HTTP header, an<a>
element) it may be a good idea to bring the various specs into alignment.So, should this section of the Micropub spec be updated to match Webmention's endpoint discovery documentation?
