Re: [tor-dev] Error-Correcting Onions with Bech32

Hi,

Please read the naming layer API proposal before writing your proposal:

https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/279-naming-layer-api.txt

In particular, if you added a unique top-level domain (.bech?), you
would only have to specify how a the bech translation plugin works.
(It would be a much shorter proposal.)

For the foregoing reasons, I will propose that subdomain data, if any, be kept separate from the Bech32 coding.  It may be either kept in a separate string, or somehow affixed with a special delimiter either before or after the Bech32 representation of the onion.  Off-the-cuff, which of these looks best to you?

   onion19qzypww2zw3ykkkglr4tu9:www

   another-level.www:onion19qzypww2zw3ykkkglr4tu9

(My choice of a delimiter here may be wrong, if we want for the browser’s address bar to translate it.  I should think more about this.)

Why not:

www.onion19qzypww2zw3ykkkglr4tu9

Transforming the final 2 components and leaving the rest intact seems
like the most usable form. Particularly if you're going  to add a .bech at
the end of the address for prop#279.
