The RADEXT WG was advised that 3PPG2 has already deployed the mode of
nonce generation in the client, and requested that feature remain in the
RADIUS Digest Authentication specification.  This statement was made at
the RADEXT WG session at IETF-63.  Therefore, I would presume that the
feature is in current use.  Whether it will be deprecated in future
releases or deployments is an open question, of course.
