 Tor supports anonymous DNS resolution through its SocksPort, but no
 application (except the `tor-resolve` utility shipped with Tor) uses that
 feature, probably because it's not an IETF standard.  Perhaps that should
 be changed.

 This will probably involve designing a new DNS-resolution SOCKS command
 and implementing it in Tor; Tor's current SOCKS commands are not likely to
 be accepted as a standard (even if they're renumbered) because they do not
 support most of DNS's new and interesting features.
