Authorities SHOULD NOT download descriptors for routers that they would
immediately reject for reasons listed in section 3.2.
+4.5. Downloading and storing extra-info documents
+
+ All authorities, and any cache that chooses to cache extra-info documents,
+ and any client that uses extra-info documents, should implement this
+ section.
+
+ Note that generally, clients don't need extra-info documents.
+
+ Periodically, the Tor instance checks whether it is missing any extra-info
+ documents: in other words, if it has any router descriptors with an
+ extra-info-digest field that does not match any of the extra-info
+ documents currently held. If so, it downloads whatever extra-info
+ documents are missing. Caches download from authorities; non-caches try
+ to download from caches. We follow the same splitting and back-off rules
+ as in section 4.3 (if a cache) or section 5.3 (if a client).
+
3.7. Computing a consensus from a set of votes
Given a set of votes, authorities compute the contents of the consensus
