Comment (by RushingWookie):

 The ptspec says that all client options are passed through the SOCKS
 username and password fields. So I don't think the SOCKS protocol will
 reorder it after tor inserts the field.

 Ok, the & separator works nicely.

 As for the pt chains with duplicates in them, we could have an additional
 -n attached to the name to specify which duplicate. so for b64|obfs3|b64,
 each ptname would be pt=b64-1&pt=64-2 etc. It is special casing the
 duplicates but we need some way of separating them.
