Walking Onions: week 4 update

== Next steps
In this coming week I plan to try to wrap up section 3 on voting and section 5 on extending circuits. I'm going to go back to the start of section 2 and start revising all I've written so far for consistency.
Some typos, ambiguities, and questions: In the client and relay root documents: require-versions should be require-protos In the voting description: It seems weird to suddenly add a ".txt" extension to tor's directory URLs. No other directory URL has an extension. (Apart from DirPortFrontPage.) This sentence fragment is ambiguous: "more than half of two" for example, means "at least 1", not "one or more" I suggest: "more than half of two" for example, means "greater than 1", not "one or more" N_PRESENT is a typo here: The lowest integer that is greater than half of N_FIELD. Equivalent to CEIL( (N_PRESENT+1)/2 ). Do we need a list of MDs, one for each consensus method range? ? md_literal : LiteralMD, Measured is a uint, not a bool: ? weight : { bw : uint, ? measured : bool, ? unmeasured : bool }, https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n2432 In the DirPort link specifiers: IPv6 addresses MUST be in square brackets. (To avoid port/address confusion.)
