 Hi atagar,

 Is this approach correct?

 Given that "run single tests" is now available, I was able to test this on
 descriptor.server_descriptor. I'm still getting used to stem coding
 guidelines, so I would like you to check if I'm doing things in the right
 way.

 From what I understood from this ticket (and from Tor specs) the idea is
 to provide a forward-compability when new capabilities are found and
 report to the user the new capabilities rather than just fail.

 Let me know if this is OK, so I can continue to add this to the other
 tests.
