It would be great if all instances where http auth is configured for users (htpasswd-htaccess module, Subversion repo module, probaby other places) could be set for digest authentication. It is quite well-supported now by the vast majority of browsers (and even simpler clients like wget and curl) now, and it's a good way to have safe password transmission without having to revert to the much more demanding SSL mode. The Apache module already allows selection of Digest mode auth, as does the DAV module (actually I guess DAV always sets up digest, which might be ambitious yet for all http auth functions).
