I'm a bit confused on this point; I hope the proposed method wasn't to 
actually re-implement digest auth! ;-)   As long as just the 
$REMOTE_USER environment variable is used, then both digest and basic 
should work fine (plus any other methods, like auth tokens, etc.). Am I 
somehow mistaken, or is "digest" just being misused?

Right now, I have a config variable to turn off the authentican alltogether, which would allow you to use http authentication.
I'm not checking $REMOTE_USER. The use of that, I suppose, would be to allow certain users and disallow others. But, that could be setup in .htaccess, couldn't it?

I don't know of any reason why digest authentication would need to be
handled differently from basic, but because everyone was using the word
digest, rather than calling it something more general, I thought I'd throw
that out there.  Just disregard it if it doesn't apply.
