Comment(by mikeperry):

 I think it would be wise to include a hash of the full descriptor in the
 microdesc or the microdesc consensus, and include a hash of the extrainfo
 descriptor in the descriptor.

 TLS authentication aside, it may prove very useful in the future to be
 able to have an authentication chain from the microdesc consensus to a
 specific node's full descriptor set, that way we can more easily deploy
 this mechanism or any other mechanism that requires efficient access to
 extended information about a small set of nodes (like your Guards, or in
 the case of a relay: yourself).

 Preserving that ability for the general case is definitely worth the 3%
 overhead, IMO.
