 In tor-spec.txt, this is outdated:
 {{{
    Implementations MAY use the timestamp value to help decide if their
    clocks are skewed.  Initiators MAY use "other OR's address" to help
    learn which address their connections are originating from, if they do
    not know it.  [As of 0.2.3.1-alpha, nodes use neither of these values.]
 }}}
