 In dir-spec.txt, commit c4ae4dd31 gave us lines like
 {{{
 +        Denotes a directory authority commit for the shared randomness
 +        protocol, containing the commitment value and potentially also
 the
 +        reveal value. See sections [COMMITREVEAL] and [VALIDATEVALUES] of
 +        proposal 250 on how to generate and validate these values.
 }}}

 That's a great improvement over just leaving it implicit. But if we have a
 goal of having Tor specified in the spec files (is that true?), then we
 should migrate the key sections from the proposal file to either dir-spec
 or a new srv-spec file.
