 This isn't quite accurate:
 {{{
   /* Don't actually allow compression; it uses ram and time, but the data
    * we transmit is all encrypted anyway. */
 }}}

 The following "data" isn't encrypted:
 * cell headers
 * non-relay cell types

 I suggest:

 {{{
   /* Don't actually allow compression; it uses ram and time, but the
    * circuit data we transmit is encrypted anyway. */
 }}}
