Comment (by atagar):

 > It turns out that this information is already in directory-signature at
 the end of 3.4.1

 Good eye!

 > Alternately, we could move the info about digests from 3.4.1 to 1.3

 Personally I'm a more inclined for that because section 3.4.1 is huge and
 as such not a great spot for other fields to reference.

 > Do you think we should say "network-status-version" instead of "the
 beginning of the document"?

 Up to you. It's synonymous in this case because 'network-status-version'
 is defined as being the start of the document, so that cannot change
 without violating backward compatibility.
