Not entirely true actually, if we do that, the old Stem won't be able to pickup the descriptor ID from new Tor... So how do you suggest to proceed with backward compat? Just a new field like "DESCRIPTOR_ID=" and we leave the "DescriptorID" in duplicating the information for v2 descriptors? Kinda seems weird.
Hi David. Meejah was right that there seems to be a misunderstanding here. I only commented about it because the DESCRIPTOR_ID was part of your proposal. If it's just citing an existing part of the spec then no worries. :)
