Comment (by rl1987):

 Well I'm not talking about making changes in how Tor protocols ''de
 facto'' works and what wire format is actually being used. What I mean is
 to change is to reword section 4.5 to be more precise about what is in the
 address part of NETINFO cell and refrain from mentioning section 6.4, as
 that's confusingly says that we're reusing wire format fragment from
 RELAY_RESOLVED cell in NETINFO cell (which is a shaky claim, for reasons
 outlined above).

 I propose to keep netinfo.trunnel as it is now, and also merge the
 following patch to torspec:
