Just one short note on why it is this way: any processing based on digest 
id (like is_user does) is only meaningful after the authenticity of digest
id was verified. Othewise any request sender could put any digest id in 
request (e.g., "foobar" or "gwbush") and you would use it. Thus, call an 
authorization action first.
