1 - In this proposed format, how does the parser or consumer of the log
know what algorithm is used for digestN.
For example, the TCG standard format uses TPML_DIGEST_VALUES
	uint32_t count - the number of digests TPMT_HA
	TPMT_HA digests[]

where a TPMT_HA is
	algorithm identifier
	digest byte array

2 - Not a criticism, just a question for understanding ...  Would it be 
true that the total_digest_length == the sum of all the digestN_len 
values plus 4 bytes for each length.

Does it determine how many digests there are by when the total length is 
consumed?
