So, unlike a transparent tor router, this system is not intended to prevent
malicious software on client computers from being able to learn the client
computer's location, right? An attacker who has compromised some client
software just needs to control a single relay in the consensus, and they'll be
allowed to connect to it directly?

It is unclear to me what exactly this kind of tor router *is* supposed to
protect against. (I haven't read the whole document yet but I read a few
sections including Threat Model and I'm confused.)
