There are several issues in the PT 2.0 draft 2 specification.

Some of them are minor typos or inconsistencies. Others are major
design issues that we might want to leave until a later spec.

The last response from Brandon on this was:

But then more issues were raised in this thread:

https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2017-July/012374.html

And I wasn't able to get response from Brandon on them.

Please read the thread, so you are aware of the issues, even if the
spec hasn't been updated. (And even if we decide not to fix them right
