prop224 destroys the one to one bidirectional binary mapping that
makes onioncat possible, and fails to provide a replacement for it :-(
Any "human naming" layer (whether under prop224 or current onion) is
not necessarily (is not) one to one bidir binary, it's just a name-value map,
a forward lookup table, for which under that destruction, a 'name' could
just as well be an IPv6 address string. 'name', 'label', 'address'... all the
same in this case. Abstracting the bidir part, and authenticating the
previously one to one nature, is the challenge.
