Allowing multiple digests is good for algorithm rollovers.

It would be nice if the receiving end could warn (without failing) if it
did not recognize the new algorithm.
If the new algorithm was known but did not verify, I don't know whether to
pass or fail, but at least warn.
I don't see a good way to specify that, so it may be out of scope for the
draft.

Seems fine to me as written.
