Also, "RSA" isn't a single function because of the padding issue.
You need to specify PKCS#1 something or other. There's a normative
ref to RFC 3447 but nothing in the text.

By the way, dk-milter invokes OpenSSL with RSA_PKCS1_PADDING (whatever
that is).  If a different algorithm is used, it shouldn't be called
"rsa-sha1", I guess.

(The description in the draft looks very much like unpadded hashed RSA
signatures, which have already been broken for this sort of
application.)
