Comment (by irl):

 I think it is important here to consider what it is will be done with the
 information. If all you wanted was a list of prefixes that the relay has
 addresses in then this could be a single `bgp_prefix` field as an IPv4
 address is easily distinguished from an IPv6 address.

 Prefix, AS and country code information is tied to individual addresses
 though, not IP version. One address is used as the primary address while
 others are secondary, so one AS may see all the traffic and the others
 none.

 Not all the fields we add need to be simple strings or arrays of strings.
 We can add more complex structures is it would be useful for end-users.

 We could have something like:

 {{{"or_addresses": {"1.1.1.1": {"primary": "true", "as": "1000"},
 "2.2.2.2": {"as: "2000"}} }}}

 Each address may also have different OR ports or dir ports (not sure if
 dir-spec supports this though).
