The reflectance of the imaging device (CCD) is much different than film. This is the 
reason that Nikon had to revise the SB-28 flash for use with DSLRs. I believe that the 
final flash meter reading is taken from the front of the shutter curtain.

        Um.. did I miss something?  Why is this a requirement for flash on a
digital camera?  Can't they use the equivalent to OTF sensing too?
