> I think we should ignore the spec and do the right thing. The right
thing is that if you get an address string that is usable as a destination
address, you should use it.
Usability, I agree and less hassle of broken apps opening tickets. Flip
side, we let flourish an ecosystem of broken applications that uses SOCKS
the wrong way and in this case, Tor Browser.
But I won't argue more, I think TB knows what to do to do it right and
"tor" can just be lenient with what format the address comes in (binary or
text).
