Hello,

In the case where the digest is included in the trailer (Section 10.11
[1]), it may be beneficial for the client to know *which* digest the
server plans to include in the trailer.  This way, the client, too, can
calculate it in the streaming manner.  I wonder whether this use case
has been considered.

  - Dmitri.
