 You have impeccable timing to push code changes right when I get to work.

 that the parser doesn't understand yet.

 Where is that in the spec? From what I can tell 'opt ' is a historical
 thing that is supposed to be completely ignored:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/dir-spec-v2.txt#l154

 At least for server and extrainfo descriptors it's fine for the parser to
 see new keywords. They just get added to the unrecognized lines listing.
