Comment (by dgoulet):

 Replying to [comment:11 teor]:
 [snip]
 > But the spec is inconsistent: it specifies this for service to rend, but
 not client to intro.

 Intro do not parse link specifiers from the INTRO cell, that part is
 encrypted for the service else they would learn the RP and that is no good
 :).

 So HS service is really the only place I see that tor will take a "blob"
 of link specifiers even thought it doesn't know about it and will extend
 to the RP.

 Am I correct?
