 I suppose you don't want people, who are behind a (Tor) transproxy or Tor
 router, to use Tor over Tor. Currently there is no standalone Tor Browser
 (#5236). So if they install Tor Browser, they use Tor over Tor (works,
 slow and recommend or advised against?). Suggestion: once Transparent
 Torification is activated, Tor Browser instantly starts standalone,
 without starting Tor or Vidalia.

 Ideally one could select this feature before Vidalia and Tor try
 bootstrapping through the Tor proxy, e.g. by passing an option to the
 launch shortcut/script

 There is currently a workarround in the wiki. ("Edit 'start-tor-browser'
 script and change the line: './App/vidalia --datadir Data/Vidalia/' to
 './App/Firefox/firefox -profile ./Data/profile'") But that can't become
 the official recommendation to use Transparent Torification?

 And how will Transparent Torification be compatible with SOCKS username
 for stream isolation? (#3455)
 There is no documentation about Transparent Torification. What is the
 current implementation... Will it simply disable the proxy and work as a
 normal browser without proxy settings? Then SOCKS username for stream
 isolation wouldn't be usable with Transparent Torification.
