 For starters: I'm not exactly sure what compass.tpo is supposed to do. I
 saw it mentioned in #6662 but when I visited the website I was quite
 confused.

 Some comments:

 a) Maybe the front page of compass should explain what it's supposed to do
 (like atlas does).

 b) I'm not sure what the results are when I hit 'Submit'. I get a list of
 relays, but I'm not sure why they are there or why they are sorted this
 way.

 c) What is 'CW'? It seems that the default sorting is based on 'CW'. Maybe
 when you mouseover 'CW' it should display a small description of what it
 means (same for P_guard etc.).

 d) Initially I thought that AS39138 was the default value of AS, but it
 seems like it's an example. Maybe the example should be mentioned on the
 right of the text box (after the "select only relays from AS number"
 description)?

 e) What is the 'cancel' button supposed to be doing?

 BTW I understand that compass is a new service and that it's perfectly
 normal for its UI to not be super user-friendly yet.
