Accessing torproject.org through exit nodes is not good. Replace it with
hidden service for TBB. Of course, HTTPS over TOR (as Facebook have done)
to make use of PKI to verify that it is torproject's site, not John Doe's
site.
To prevent attack with registering .onion address by provider just
hardcode into TB that .onion addresses MUST be downloaded through proxy.
Don't forget about third-party proxy addons, such as FoxyProxy (used in
TAILS), make sure that this wouldn't have broken them.
