 While the PT spec is not terrible, it's certainly a bit of a mess.

 It contains unimplemented stuff that will probably never get implemented.
 It's all a big blob of text and it doesn't have any sections. It doesn't
 say anything about ExtORPort.

 Also, other projects (I2P, psiphon, lantern, uproxy, etc.) want to use
 these 'Pluggable Transport' things, but they don't like how our pt-
 spec.txt is Tor specific. We should probably split our current pt-spec.txt
 to a tor-pt-spec.txt and to a platform-independent pt-spec.txt (that might
 or might not reside in gitweb.tpo). This is related to #10629.
