Comment (by cypherpunks):

 There was a paper relatively recently which showed that a very large chunk
 of hidden services (~20%) were referencing external resources on non-onion
 domains (like Google Analytics and jquery). I believe
 https://mascherari.press/onionscan-report-august-2016-revisiting-caronte-
 analytics-bitcoins-and-correlations/ describes it. Although a solution to
 this ticket won't mitigate the HS deanonymization issues, the onionscan
 results show conclusively that there are a significant number of hidden
 services which do, often accidentally, expose non-onion resources.
