Comment (by iwakeh):

 Open steps:

 * decide for adding 'self' always to the effective family, because clients
 (like RS) interpret it like that (and had to work around the inconsistent
 situation so far) or against it because it would add too much to current
 documents
 * explicitly state whether the relay belongs to its effective family or
 not in the protocol (if not it should also explicitly be added that the
 'self' doesn't show up in the other two family types either)
 * make & merge the appropriate changes (everywhere)
