There is currently a proposal redefine digits as extending as far as the
mesopodium (wrists or ankles), instead of as far as the
metacarpals/metatarsals (currently the case):

Opinions? Even though this is ultimately terminology it would be a big
shift with some possibilities for confusion. If we do go ahead with the
change I'd like make synchronous changes in other ontologies.
Interestingly the developmental ontologies (EMAPA, EHDAA2) implicitly
have the more inclusive definition, but other ontologies use the smaller
unit.
