pursue novel headers and reinvent a bunch of established, widely-understood web redirection technologies, I would ask that Tor focus its efforts instead upon providing a service - perhaps a listener service embedded in little-t tor as an enable-able service akin to SOCKSListener - which can accept a request from <cidr-subnetmask>, receive an newline-terminated IP address, and return a set of flags associated with that IP (exit node, relay, whatever) - or "none" where the IP is not part of the tor network. Riff on this protocol as you see fit.
Is this not what TorDNSEL does?
