Comment (by nickm):

 I'm not sure how well we do this now:
 {{{
     /* A relay can connect from anywhere and be canonical, so
      * long as it tells you from where it came. This may be a bit
      * concerning.. Luckily we have another check in
      * channel_tls_matches_target_method() to ensure that extends
      * only go to the IP they ask for.
      *
      * XXX: Bleh. That check is not used if the connection is canonical.
      */
 }}}

 Need to look more closely...
