The 7 Layer model is a useful tool to talk about things, its not a rei-fied
thing. That said, apparent layer violations invite critique because they
inherently carry architectural consequence.

I think the overloading of a (semantic space) name to have special
properties to take it out of the system is a case in point. Its an
application through session layer property: packets don't get sent using
.onion labels in source/destination fields. And the imposition on all the
other layers to handle .onion specially, feels (to me) a mortal wound.
This, compared to the cost of taking syntactic limits in the URI, and
applying a lever there to wedge :tor: into the URI form, denoting what you
want to happen.

SOCKS is pretty much a shim. Its a clean layer impact. Its (to me) like
taking fopen() and replacing it by bzip2fopen() to get silent bz2
capability in existing file I/O
