 ...or have the bridge locally. (I assume running rogue flashproxies is not
 a valid attack (on the content) as the tor client will verify the bridge
 and the network behind it.)

 Good to know. I was thinking - for this standalone proxy the webbrowser-
 available-communication restriction no longer applies, so we could use
 other protocols as well (including UDP).

 The main advantage of flashproxy that remains then is dynamic nature of
 discovery via the facilitator (and the reverse connection, o/c), and thus
 making me able to use my home DSL (which changes IP every day). Bridges
 need manual work every time that happens on the client side.
