Comment (by naif):

 Given that this implementation enable exposure of NON-ANONYMOUS Tor Hidden
 Service with the standard Tor software, i think that it make sense to
 enable also NON-ANONYMOUS Tor Hidden Service Client (ie: Actually compile-
 time Tor2web Mode) with the standard Tor software.

 For both NON-ANONYMOUS Tor Hidden Service use-cases (Server and Client),
 we can build them in the standard version of Tor by adding a command line
 like:
 * --yes-i-know-that-i-m-going-to-use-non-anonymous-tor-hidden-services-
 client (tor2web mode)
 * --yes-i-know-that-i-m-going-to-use-non-anonymous-tor-hidden-services-
 server (encrypted services)

 That way the Tor Hidden Services world will have it's NON-ANONYMOUS way to
 use Tor Darknet with the Server (encrypted services) and Client (tor2web
 mode).

 I strongly advocate for that approach!
