Well, that's how you would expose slide film anyway. It does not change with digital, as digital has the same (more or less) latitude as slide, and will blow out highlights even faster. AA's suggestions of exposing for the shadows is for negative film (print for the highlights), and even that is meant to be taken in conjunction with developing the film specifically for the exposure..
