I wasn't suggesting that there were any changes to the existing
MIME headers, what I was commenting on was the need (for digest

As I said in my previous note, this group has special considerations for
canonicalizations that would not be addressed by the IETF if it were to
do this. Thus, I think it is reasonable and correct for this group to
specify what it needs for its purposes.
In fact, Suresh and I are working on this now.
