Comment(by zooko):

 In [20081205141754-92b7f-f3ee4370feeab166962456792d95fdca9bb2cfab] I
 changed the download side to not require these redundant fields, but to
 check them if they are there and assert that they are consistent with the
 other non-redundant fields.  That patch was released in Tahoe-1.3.0 so in
 theory once people use no versions of Tahoe older than 1.3.0 to download
 files then we could change it to not include these fields at all in
 upload.  I'll keep this ticket open in case that happens, but I think more
 likely is that we will introduce a new separate format and continue using
 the old format unchanged.
