     * === EXCERPT FROM RFC 2617 ===
     * The contents of the nonce are implementation dependent. The quality
     * of the implementation depends on a good choice. A nonce might, for
     * example, be constructed as the base 64 encoding of
     *
     * time-stamp H(time-stamp ":" ETag ":" private-key)
     *
     * where time-stamp is a server-generated time or other non-repeating
     * value, ETag is the value of the HTTP ETag header associated with
     * the requested entity, and private-key is data known only to the
     * server.  With a nonce of this form a server would recalculate the
     * hash portion after receiving the client authentication header and
     * reject the request if it did not match the nonce from that header
     * or if the time-stamp value is not recent enough. In this way the
     * server can limit the time of the nonce's validity. The inclusion of
     * the ETag prevents a replay request for an updated version of the
     * resource.  (Note: including the IP address of the client in the
     * nonce would appear to offer the server the ability to limit the
     * reuse of the nonce to the same client that originally got it.
     * However, that would break proxy farms, where requests from a single
     * user often go through different proxies in the farm. Also, IP
     * address spoofing is not that hard.)
     * ====
     *
     * Now for my reasoning:
     * We will not accept a unrecognised nonce->we have all recognisable
     * nonces stored. If we send out unique encodings we guarantee
     * that a given nonce applies to only one user (barring attacks or
     * really bad timing with expiry and creation).  Using a random
     * component in the nonce allows us to loop to find a unique nonce.
     * We use H(nonce_data) so the nonce is meaningless to the receiver.
     * So our nonce looks like hex(H(timestamp,randomdata))
     * And even if our randomness is not very random we don't really care
     * - the timestamp also guarantees local uniqueness in the input to
     * the hash function.
