First, take a look at RFC 79, which I think addresses the wants here.
My thoughts on how it should work are a little different now, but I
guess it's too late to bother updating the RFC.

Second, Larry made a pass at this issue in his discussion of RFC 5,
near the beginning of Apoc 2.

Third, Larry talked a bit more about it in the SOTO 5; see
  http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/07/25/onion.html?page=2
It's about 2/3 of the way down.

(Hm, do you think I care about this issue? ;-)
