Comment (by alecmuffett):

 > It seems to me the user agent could sent this header with the first
 request and if the server does not want to react to that, that's cool, but
 then the header could get omitted as it seems the content provider does
 not want to act on that .onion offer.

 Thought experiment: Why do we not do that with the entire User-Agent?
