Ahh, I missed that. Thanks!
Pushed a fix...

> But: note that Stem parses the 17:00:00 vote without issues, but has
trouble parsing the 18:00:00 vote. I don't see what difference between the
two votes would cause that. Any ideas? Can you try out parsing these two
votes with Stem and take a look yourself?
I did and they both appeared to break the parser. Maybe I misread the
output yesterday...

spec.txt to make them less confusing.
A small clarification would be nice. Maybe something like...
{{{
diff --git a/dir-spec.txt b/dir-spec.txt
index ca5434b..eb1b55b 100644

It contains two subsections, a bandwidths-weights line and a
directory-signature.
+ Prior to conensus method 9 footers only contained directory-signatures
+ without a 'directory-footer' line.
+
The bandwidths-weights line appears At Most Once for a consensus. It
does
not appear in votes.
}}}
Sending this over to Nick to see what he thinks.
