Yes. 
NEW:
Long-term credentials  (username, realm, and password) need to be stored on the 
server- side using MD5 hash over the credentials,  which is not considered best 
current practice.  RFC 6151 discusses security vulnerabilities of MD5 and 
encourages not to it.

Yes, it's within the scope of TRAM. I will update Abstract as per your 
suggestion.

Thanks and Regards,
