Comment:

 The code is correct, I overlooked that difference when reviewing the
 protocol draft.

 I guess for votes in the `recent/` folder this doesn't matter much,
 because we're thinking about merging them all into a single file.  And
 just in case we decide against that, we can still document what exactly
 we're doing and possibly even why.

 For votes in the tarballs it matters a bit, because those will stay in
 separate files.  There it makes sense to include a descriptor digest,
 because just in case an authority publishes more than one vote, we might
 want to keep those different copies and not overwrite the first with the
 second.

 Does that answer the question?
