Comment (by dcf):

 Does tor need to care whether the PT proxy understands/honors
 `TOR_PT_OUTBOUND_BIND_ADDRESS`? tor can set the variable but it will be
 ignored by every existing PT proxy. If it's a critical for tor to know
 whether the variable is being honored, then, there could be an
 acknowledgement message along the lines of `PROXY OK`.
