 Replying to [comment:8 atagar]:

 > Um... so you *do* want to allow it? It would be nice if the spec
 required the transportname to be unique (it would let me make things nicer
 for users). But if the answer is "it's unique for now but might change"
 then that translates to "it's not unique" since that would let a future
 Tor change break us.

 OK, sorry if I gave the impression that this will change in the future.

 Let me rephrase as: "The `transportname` is a unique identifier for each
 ClientTransportPlugin line.". I also checked the 180 spec again to make
 sure that this won't be problematic in the future.

 Also, FWIW, the tor code is using this property of the `transportname` to
 match `ClientTransportPlugin` lines with `Bridge` lines.
