Comment:

 This needs a proposal to specify how the authentication model would work
 exactly, but IMO it's doable.  We would need to refactor some of Tor's
 current code, which assumes that having a TLS connection is the same as
 being an or_connection_t.  This would be an easy switch if the feature
 required bufferevents; it might still be easy to do with the old buf_t
 style connections.
