RE: draft resulting from 990930 call

Greg,

There are actually two defaults, one for canonicalizing SignedInfo, and one for 
canonicalizing an Object.  Each of these will have a default specified (which 
may or may not be the same - TBD).  We'll add the language to 4.1 for the 
SignedInfo default.
