Comment(by nickm):

 I think I like it!

 Some code issues you shouldn't have to fix:
   * I find the more complicated asserts hard to read.  I'll refactor them
 if we merge, though; my confusion is my own problem.
   * directory_initiate_command_routerstatus_rend()'s interface  sure is
 hideous, isn't it? We should do something about that.  Not a problem
 introduced by this patch, though.

 Also, the security implications of having a "don't be anonymous" mode
 worry me some.  Can we do more to make sure that no user ever thinks that
 turning this on is a good idea?  The check in
 connection_ap_rewrite_and_attach is a good start, but I worry about
 accidentally breaking it later.  Can we have this whole feature be
 disabled unless the user supplies a compile-time option, for instance?
 (Is there any reason not to do that?)

 Also, have the tor2web people tried this out?
