Comment (by arma):

 Agreed. Thank Runa.

 Certainly saying "Internet" is a misleading thing to say for being after
 the third hop. What is the better text? I assume we want something short,
 simple, and easily translated. I'd also like to avoid hard-coding words
 like 'hidden' in, since I'm still hoping for the great terminology shift
 to happen.

 I'd suggest "The rendezvous point" but that fails on the 'simple' goal.

 Maybe "The onion circuit"? Or "The rest of the onion circuit"?

 I think it would be useful to give people the intuition that the .onion
 site does not sit on the other side of that third hop. But I'm not sure
 how best to do that.
