Virgil Griffith:
I have two proposals to add to the torspec.git. They are:
(1) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3308162/230-quicken-tor2web-mode.txt (2) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3308162/231-remittance-addresses.txt
With regard to (2), the torrc file is not a dot file by default. Also the RemittanceAddresses syntax doesn't seem entirely consistent to me. There's also a spelling error in your description. My patch below for (2) addresses these. I don't have any comments for (1).

-The contents of the node’s RemittanceAddresses line will be mirrored in the node’s router descriptor (which is then published in the directory consensus). This line will be treated akin to the ContactInfo field.
