-----------------------------+-----------------
 Section 4.2. (âCERTS cellsâ) of`tor-spec.txt` contains the phrase:

 {{{
 The certificate format for the above certificate types is X509.
 }}}

 However, X.509 certificates can be uncoded in a number of different
 formats, DER being the one that's used with Tor.

 See the attached patch to improve the sentence like this:

 {{{
 The certificate format for the above certificate types is DER encoded
 X509.
 }}}
