Comment:

 This is great for server and extra-info descriptors! I do also need to
 calculate digests for basically everything though. I've attached a digram
 that shows how documents reference each other, and I've attached an
 example detached signature as there are currently only available for 5
 minutes every hour (during the voting process, for DistSeconds).

 There is not yet a parser for detached signatures so the digest for that
 can be thought about in another ticket.

 Can you add the digest() method to NetworkStatusDocumentV3 and
 Microdescriptor?
