[cabfpub] .onion and .exit

[Jeremy.Rowley]

I completely agree.  Until we hear from Tor and other interested 
parties, there isn't a need to formulate a ballot for the exception. 
However, assuming support is shown for Tor, would putting it in a lesser 
used SAN entry be the best place rather than creating a broader 
exception or using a different field?
