What is the theoretical status of this variation?

There have been several article in Yearbook the last years - "Another look at the Traxler Gambit" 5 parts trying to find a refutation. Afterwards some corr. players did an article "Its hard to kill the Traxler Gambit" where they tried to show its still alive and kicking.

Anyway its a tactical minefield - is it really suiting for someone rated 1200?

Wilkes-Barre variation

During the weekend I passed on to a 1200 rating player some stuff on the wilkes-Barre variation. At his level of ability I believe that it will be easier for him to play than the main line of the Two Knights. Also most of his opponents will never have seen it. 

What is the theoretical status of this variation?
  
I am hopelessly addicted to the King's Gambit
