Description
The AUTHDIR_NEWDESCS events lack sufficient information for me to parse them. At present all the spec has is...
4.1.8. Descriptors uploaded to us in our role as authoritative dirserver
Syntax:
"650" "+" "AUTHDIR_NEWDESCS" CRLF Action CRLF Message CRLF
Descriptor CRLF "." CRLF "650" SP "OK" CRLF
Action = "ACCEPTED" / "DROPPED" / "REJECTED"
Message = Text
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/control-spec.txt#l1505
Questions that I have are...
- What meaning does the "Message" have? What characters can it contain? Can it have newlines?
- The Actions should have a description for what the actions mean, and say if new values are allowed or not.
- What format does the "Descriptor" take? Is this a server descriptor? Microdescriptor? Router status entry? What version?

Replying to atagar:
I think I should have this cleared up in a1331ca69dc768709b53b104b243fca27320ae74
For this, I added a statement in 4745fc3dbaf8253e96bf2a543d0140a60e6dba50 that if values are enumerated, and there isn't an explicit statement saying that new values will never be added, new values may be added. That should prevent snafus in the future.
