Comment(by karsten):

 Replying to [comment:3 nickm]:
 > It's a good start, but you should give a high-level view of how the
 entries relate to each other.  Reading that spec, I would ''guess'' that
 the format is something like (!ExitAddress | Published | !LastStatus |
 !ExitAddress*)*, but I can't say for sure.

 Right.  The fact that the first line starts with !ExitNode (not
 !ExitAddress) probably complicated things, too.  I added a sentence and
 corrected the typo.

 > Also, maybe you should stick the literals in quotes: "!ExitAddress"
 rather than !ExitAddress, assuming that the string "!ExitAddress" appears
 verbatim in the file.  You might want to note spaces too?

 Done.

 > Also, is !ExitAddress really used for two different kinds of entry?

 No. :)

 See exitlist-spec-2.txt in the attachment.  Thanks for your comments!
