Comment(by proper):

 I like it. No control port connection is required, great, makes it usable
 in a lot more environments other than TBB. Also nice that no additional
 listener port is created, magic IP is better. Can't say anything about
 security.

 Maybe adding the IPs of the current circuit should be added?

 <entry>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</entry>
 <middle>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</middle>
 <exit>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</exit>

 Do you think people will miss that "your IP appears to be xx.xx.xx"?
