This spec

Will obsolete RFC 3230, which defines Digest and Want-Digest.

i could add it, but it seems that from the definition point of view, those two headers are still defined by RFC 3230, right? if that's the case, it may make sense to wait until the RFC is obsoleted? or do you think it would make sense to reference the I-D already?

those two headers are still defined by RFC 3230, Yes, but their definition is inconsistent with RFC723x because of the entity -> representation changes.

do you think it would make sense to reference the I-D already? That depends on the web-concepts policy :)

While I hope that I-D to go RFC by 2020, it's important that people using RFC3230 knows that it could become obsoleted and get in touch with us.

Always thanks for your time, R.

ok, i have added the draft. http://webconcepts.info/specs/IETF/I-D/ietf-httpbis-digest-headers is where you can find it, and it lists the two header fields as requested.
