Comment (by teor):

 Ah, but hang on, there are some vote items that authorities do disagree
 about, like IPv6 ORPorts. So we should take them off the list:

 Comparing these is probably necessary, they have 128+ bits of entropy:
 * version
 * protocols
 * exitsummary
 * ~~ed25519_id~~
 * ~~ipv6_addr~~

 Comparing these might not be necessary, they only have a few bits:
 * ~~ipv6_orport~~
 * ~~measured_bw_kb / bandwidth_kb ?~~
 * ~~guardfraction_percentage~~

 I'm not sure if comparing these is necessary, they probably don't have
 enough bits to lead to a collision:
 * ~~flags / is_x (x is a flag name)~~
 * supports_x (x is a feature name) ?
 * has_guardfraction ?
 * ~~has_measured_bw~~
 * ~~has_ed25519_listing~~
 * ~~has_bandwidth~~
 * has_exitsummary
