Comment (by isis):

 Replying to [comment:15 karsten]:
 > nickm: Turns out there is no specification of ''original'' bridge
 network status documents, just an informal specification of ''sanitized''
 bridge descriptors on the CollecTor page. There is a little part in the
 BridgeDB specification that says what BridgeDB expects to find in a bridge
 network status document, but that's probably not the best place for
 specifying these documents. And we briefly speculated above about writing
 a new specification document for bridge descriptors based on a grammar,
 but we can still do that after adding "fingerprint" lines to bridge
 network statuses.

 for bridge network status documents? They are technically not v3
 documents, but we could mention that at the beginning of the subsection.
 I'm thinking of appending a new subsection to "3. Directory authority
 operation and formats", so "3.12. Writing bridge network statuses". I can
 write a patch for that if that makes sense.

 It sounded from this ticket that people wanted better documentation for
 both unsanitised and sanitised bridge descriptors, so I made tickets for
 both (#22826 and #22827, respectively).
