Comment(by atagar):

 > Is this something you can write a spec patch for?

 I can write spec patches for what I think it should be if you'd like.

 > I'd have an easier time if you can rephrase the bug in terms of a list
 of questions that you want the spec to answer

 My first thought when I saw that AUTHENTICATE took a quoted passphrase was
 "Hm, guess the passphrase can't contain quotes. Hopefully --hash-password
 gives an error when users try to create hashed passphrases with quotes.".
 After a bit of experimenting my next thought was "Uhh, are quotes the only
 escaped value?".

 I'd like the spec to specify...
 - when and what escaping is expected for requests
 - when and what unescaping should be applied to replies
 - a note that says that if there's escaping outside of this then it's
 either a tor or spec bug

 Cheers! -Damian
