Comment (by atagar):
Thanks teor, sounds good! For me the operative bit I needed was the
digested range. Section 3.1 tells us quite a bit but my eyes glazed over
the 'final "Signature Item"' bit (and in re-reading that it seems to say
the last signature, not the first). I'm delighted for us to make the fixes
you mention but how do you feel about adjusting the
[https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/dir-spec.txt#n3309
detached signature description] to something like the following?
From:
{{{
"consensus-digest" SP Digest NL
[At start, at most once.]
The digest of the consensus being signed.
}}}
To:
{{{
"consensus-digest" SP Digest NL
[At start, at most once.]
The digest of the consensus being signed. This is the uppercase
hex encoded sha1 digest of the next hour's consensus document
from it beginning up through its first 'directory-signature '
line (space included).
For more information see Section 3.1.
