---------------------------------+-------------------------
 The current Pluggable Transport spec has gotten more and more Tor
 specific, which is bad for people that aren't Tor that wish to use the
 managed PT API.  The current spec should be cleaned up to address:

  * Why managed mode is a good idea.
  * Include the ExtORPort stuff.
  * Make it abundantly clear that not just Tor can/should use this and
 managed mode.
  * Other misc. spec clarifications as needed.

 Note: This is entirely separate from writing a v2 of the Pluggable
 Transport spec that fixes the warts in the existing one (which will
 involve code).
