more minor Digest Auth editorial comments

I made these before, but they may have been lost in the incrementing 
discussion.

1. A definition of what is "message-body" in section 2.1 needs to be 
given. Does it include entity-headers, general-headers, 
response-headers (when sent by server) or request-headers (when sent by 
client), as well as the entity-body?

2. In the security considerations section, the rationale for including
client IP in the recommended nonce needs to be given, over just
checking the IP address of a later request containing a nonce against
the IP address to which the nonce was originally given. Is it to
reduce the amount of state that the server needs to hold?
