[tor-talk] Why does tor control port 9051 allow empty authentication?

This confuses me:


$ telnet localhost 9051
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
authenticate
250 OK


Isn't it supposed to require either auth-cookie or hashed password?

Where is authentication policy described?
