I was just looking at the digest class [1]
It seems to contain an algorithm and a value. I was wondering if it was
known that the ni: URI scheme (formerly the di: URI scheme) from RFC 6920
"Naming things with hashes" does exactly this. I extensively use ni:/// to
create distributed databases and it has an added advantage of being
dereferancable via the .well-known/ni/<alg>/<digest> pattern.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920
Are there thoughts here regarding reuse?

verification. The digest algorithm used will determine the cryptographic
properties of the digest.
