You should rather say Tor is not _the_ onion routing, it's _an_ onion
routing: cf. p. 129 again---except this is not the 'the' of definite
description but the 'the' of "The original and still the best". (I got
this phrase from Roger Needham in 1993.  He was talking about BAN
logic, and said he got the phrase from a shoe polish tin.)

aloha,
Paul
