1. Even if Facebook used HTTP digest auth for people logging into facebook.com, I don't see how I could use HTTP digest auth for people logging into my website using their Facebook ID. (Also for OpenID, signing in with Twitter, etc.)
2. As a pragmatic matter, it seems more likely that Microsoft would update the various versions of Internet Explorer on Windows XP to support SNI, than that all web browsers (including Internet Explorer on Windows XP) would be updated to support HTTP digest auth with a customisable UI.
Having said that, I'm in favour of web browsers supporting both technologies.
