To address Edward’s implicit request for information - rather than to address his request for document pointers - I’d like to share that I sketched how onion addressing works in previous discussion at:

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg13758.html <https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg13758.html>

…and am happy to answer questions to the best of my ability, or punt in the right direction.

Onion addresses may in future be >64 characters long, perhaps even >80, when new code rolls; the principles are likely invariant, however.
