 > Notes:

 >   * conn_get_outbound_address falls back to the Exit address when the OR
 address is null.  That doesn't make sense to me.  Why did the user say
 OutboundBindAddressExit if they meant OutboundBindAddress?

 +1

 >   * Other outbound connection types are possible.  For example,
 directory connections, DNS lookups, and local connections to hidden
 services.  Should those get handled too?  Should they get treated as if
 they were exit?

 I would say:
 Directory -> OR
 DNS -> Exit
 HS (non-localhost) -> Exit????
