Embarassing that the number one hit for TLS_EDH_RSA_WITH_DES_192_CBC3_SHA was somebody trying to figure out what we meant when we said it. Replace with something real, and clarify that sometimes "TLS" means "SSLv3". svn:r9699

- Tor uses TLS for link authentication and encryption. All implementations
- MUST support

- Implementations MAY support other ciphersuites, but MUST NOT

Even though the connection protocol is identical, we will think of the
initiator as either an onion router (OR) if it is willing to relay
