Though I fear my point in the ticket about the Host: header might be a good one.
Proposal 224 seems like a reasonable time to try this. Doling it with the existing hidden services would add a way to partition clients.
If the hyphens are made canonical so that they're expected to occur every N characters, for N something like 5-9 [*], we could avoid the Host: issues.
