 Allowing  exit relay operators to set up their exit node to only  allow
 onion traffic and not allow access to the surface net  could drastically
 increase the amount of available exit nodes.  It would drastically reduce
 the risk from running one of these onion exit nodes because all the
 traffic is encrypted at all times and no malicious traffic would come out
 of the onion only exit node. This could also make it much safer for people
 in oppressive countries to host these nodes with reduced risk. If this
 would be implemented in a much larger amount of exit notes would come
 online, this could possibly increase anonymity by makeing it much harder
 for a attacker to compromise a large  percentage of the exit nodes because
 of the larger number of exit nodes.
