Comment (by atagar):

 > The intention here is to allow someone (i.e. me) who might otherwise run
 a Tor proxy and an "isolating proxy"-style setup to instead run an
 unpublished Tor bridge and expose its bridge port to the isolated node,
 which in turn runs a Tor proxy set to use that bridge.

 I suspect there's some context that I'm missing (I'm not quite sure what
 an '"isolating proxy"-style setup' is, how it relates to bridges, and the
 explanation left me more confused than illuminated). That said, I'm happy
 to leave this to isis and nickm if they know what's up. Just let me know
 if there's any questions regarding descriptor parsing in particular.
