Comment:

 Mike, your changes look good to me.

 I pushed another commit on my github repo at `mesh-vanguards` with some
 more text on how the python script is used right now. If you think that's
 inappropriate for the proposal let me now.

 I think now is the time to decide what's the role of prop#247 and what's
 the role of `xxx-mesh-vanguards.txt`. I think it's confusing to let both
 of them live at the same time because they are pretty similar in terms of
 text. We should figure this out so that we get this merged in torspec.

 Should we let prop#247 be "Vanguard integration inside Tor core", whereas
 this new proposal is "Mesh vanguard design using external script"? And
 make both of them proper proposals (aka get a proposal number for this new
 one too). Or what should be the plan?
