Not advertising DirPort (Reason: AccountingMax enabled)

Hi all,
i'm running a tor node release 0.2.1.29 and using the AccountingMax
option basically to collect statistics on bandwith usage, i'm not
interested in blocking traffic after it reaches a threshold (i'm using
RelayBandwidthRate to rate-limit the traffic). So i set the value of
AccountingMax to a huge number (related to my limited bandwidth),
then i wrote a munin plugin to graph the traffic collected via the
control port (http://exchange.munin-monitoring.org/plugins/tor-bandwidth-usage/).

The problem is that if AccountingMax is set, the DirPort is not
advertised: do you know if there is an option to enable the Accounting
without setting a Max value in order to act as a directory and have the
accounting statistics?

I'd like to see implemented an AccountingEnabled boolean option (or it's
already in place but I ignore it?).
