Hi Nick,
Suggestion: Add a field to hold the Ed25519 Identity of the relay being measured. Say that implementations SHOULD include both RSA fingerprint and Ed25519 identity, and that implementations SHOULD accept lines that contain at least one of them.
Suggestion: the ed25519 IDs should be base64 encoded, without a trailing =, because a trailing = makes the format ambiguous.
You're talking about the certificate, right?. This would change the concept of "line", since the certificate is more than one "line".
This is how it is defined in dir-list-spec.txt
base64-encoded-ed25519-identity :== "-----BEGIN ED25519 CERT-----" NL certificate "-----END ED25519 CERT-----" NL
The certificate is a proof of identity. But we only need to refer to a relay by its ed25519 public key:
"master-key-ed25519" SP MasterKey NL
[At most once]
Contains the base-64 encoded ed25519 master key as a single argument. If it is present, it MUST match the identity key in the identity-ed25519 entry.
