tor and p2p

Hi there,

Without thinking about it too deeply, tor would *appear* to have many of the 
necessary components for anonymous p2p.

Has there been any thought, specc-ing in this direction? Anything that could 
sheds some light on the technical issues that would need to be addressed? Or 
is there something in the tor design which would make any attempt to build 
anonymous p2p on top of it unfeasible?

BTW, I'm not talking about making the current tor network into an anonymous 
p2p network. Rather using tor as the basis for creating a separate network.

Any links or comments anyone on the list has would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Robert
