Comment (by asn):

 Replying to [comment:16 dgoulet]:
 > @asn, agree on `HSFETCH`, I think we should implement it on the "we need
 it" so we avoid bloating the control port with unused command.
 >
 > All in all, (1) we need to extend `HSPOST` to accept an onion address or
 a base64 encoded identity pk (not sure which one is ideal) and (2) I would
 think that only doing plaintext validation is enough which is what the
 HSDir will do anyway.

 > Introduces the `HSAddress=` optional field. I went for the onion address
 instead of a base64 encoded identity pubkey. Now is a good time to make an
 argument for the base64 instead of the onion.

 I think I also prefer the onion address over the base64 encoded identity
 pubkey. It seems more natural to me, and something that more people are
 exposed to.

 Also I think it's fine to only do plaintext validation (aka the thing that
 HSDirs do).

 Onwards!
