 > I have updated the specification patch in my metrics-web branch
 [[https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/irl/metrics-
 web.git/log/?h=task/18342|task/18342]].

 A few comments:

  - In the protocol version summary: ''"Added '''~~a~~''' new optional X
 and Y field'''s'''''". Unless the current text is correct English. To me
 it reads as if the Y part came in later and the rest of the sentence
 stayed the same.

  - For the deprecated field and the two newly added field, please include
 a date when they will be removed or have been added, respectively. Git
 history contains some examples.

  - The specification of `"unverified_host_names"` does not make it
 entirely clear whether a host name can show up in both newly added fields.
 It's the "regardless" part that threw me off. Maybe there's a way to make
 this clearer?

 > I do not yet have a repository to push to on git.tpo, but to avoid
 blocking on this (#26643) I have pushed my Onionoo branch to GitHub and
 opened a [[https://github.com/irl/onionoo/pull/1|pull request]] against
 master which should allow for review.

 I took the opportunity and used GitHub's review capabilities. Please take
 a look there.

 Great stuff! Really looking forward to merging this soon. Setting to
 needs_revision for now. Thanks!
