Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Taking this further. Instead of having the HSDir encrypt the descriptor
 with the
  onion key, we let the hidden service owner encrypt the descriptor with
 the onio
 n address as the symmetric key before uploading it to the HSDir.
 HSDir wouldn't need to concern itself with encrypting anything.
