Comment (by alecmuffett):

 p.s.: when I say "it needs engineers.", I actually mean "it needs a
 'forever home'."

 Renaming and refactoring (or even, reimplementing) "Darkweb Everywhere"
 and putting it officially under the aegis of the Tor Project is certainly
 the right way to go for the near term.

 AltSvc headers are a cool idea, but nothing that cannot be achieved by a
 chunk of code that says:

 {{{
 if (client_ip_is_an_exit_node) { issue_http_308_redirect($rewritten_uri) }
 }}}

 ...where HTTP-308 is "Permanent Redirect with Method and body not
 changed".

 This, or something very similar, is how
 https://www.privacyinternational.org/ implements Onion-redirection.  I
 know the sysadmin, if you want to talk to him.
