Comment (by wagon):

 > It should specify an interface too though, and that should come first,
 as a patch to control-spec.txt.
 It seems the exact format is not specified in
 [[https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt|spec]]
 at all:
 {{{

     "ns/id/<OR identity>" or "ns/name/<OR nickname>" -- the latest router
       status info (v3 directory style) for a given OR.  Router status
       info is as given in dir-spec.txt, and reflects the latest
       consensus opinion about the
       router in question. Like directory clients, controllers MUST
       tolerate unrecognized flags and lines.  The published date and
       descriptor digest are those believed to be best by this Tor,
       not necessarily those for a descriptor that Tor currently has.
       [First implemented in 0.1.2.3-alpha.]
       [In 0.2.0.9-alpha this switched from v2 directory style to v3]
 }}}
 dir-spec.txt also doesn't describe what `ControlPort` must return.
 > I'd be glad to take a patch for this.
 Unfortunately, due to lack of knowledge I cannot make it.
