Proposal: Ping-policy

[Malvoz]

A ping-policy would simplify implementation and encourage its utilization.

How does adding new feature simplify an implementation?

[Malvoz]

Authors could specify the default behavior instead of marking up all anchors (in worst case manually) with ping attributes.

For example, to ping an end-point whenever an <a> or <area> in the document is clicked:
Feature-Policy: ping https://example.com/analytics/

Also as an aside this would save bytes in terms of content length by not having to write out the url(s) to ping for every <a|area ping="https://example.com/analytics/">.
