Re: Fixes to draft 03

In section 7:

   If the "Hash" armor header is given, the specified message digest
   algorithm is used for the signature. If there are no such headers,
   SHA-1 is used. If more than one message digest is used in the
   signature, the "Hash" armor header contains a comma-delimited list
   of used message digests.

Should be changed to:

   If the "Hash" armor header is given, the specified message digest
   algorithm is used for the signature. If there are no such headers,
   MD5 is assumed. If more than one message digest is used in the
   signature, the "Hash" armor header contains a comma-delimited list
   of used message digests.

In short, if there are no headers, where it says

        SHA-1 is used

that should be changed to (for 2.6.2 style compatibility)

        MD5 is assumed
