    Julian-

    I'm not sure I see the need for registering keys, but that
    aside, if we register digest and auth methods I would suggest
    that we also register an integer method number with each; this
    will make it easier to add them to the MIBs.  I would also
    suggest that we register the current ones as well as any
    extensions.
