Well, to be fair, I think you're splitting hairs here; I don't think
brute-forcing an MD5 hash is going to be *that* much of a challenge to
someone with the capability of retrieving the plain text of an SSL
session.

Here's a better question: Is the (arguably) better protection you get
from sending an MD5 hash of a password vs. plain text over an SSL
connection worth the added burden of adding the password hash to the
user object *and* keeping the password hash in sync with the user's
password?
