Hi.

I’ve created this pull request.  The changes are here: https://github.com/tlswg/rfc4492bis/pull/5/files <https://github.com/tlswg/rfc4492bis/pull/5/files>

Basically, the text in RFC 4492 anticipates a standardization of a certificate field that will tell us which hash function to use in a digital signature. Since that never happened pre-TLS1.2 implementations use SHA-1, while TLS 1.2 has added algorithm identifiers to the signature structure. The change reflects this.

Let me know what you think.
