Comment (by irl):

 Just to add a note here, as this is something I've had to consider today,
 we should probably never pass referrer information for onion->clearnet
 sites. This is the current behavior.

 I was thinking about this as I wanted to set a homepage for Tor browser
 with my commonly visited onion services with handy search boxes and links
 for Trac reports etc. and I realised that if I'm the only person using
 that page and it shows up in referrer headers, then that's anonymity gone.
