Comment (by acat):

 Replying to [comment:134 sysrqb]:
 If I'm not wrong, as long as [https://httpwg.org/http-extensions/draft-
 ietf-httpbis-header-structure.html#token sh-token] accepts all URLs (I
 think it does), we should be able to specify the header using
 [https://httpwg.org/http-extensions/draft-ietf-httpbis-header-
 structure.html structured header] spec and preserve backwards
 compatibility.

 For example:
 {{{
 Onion-Location = sh-token parameters
 }}}
 Should accept a URI + optional parameters.
