Unfortunately, with signers in data centers throughout the world (this
message was signed in Amsterdam), it looks like it'll be quite a while
before Cisco is signing with v=1.  It sounds like there was a
canonicalization change (which I completely forgot about) between v=0.5
and v=1. I'll need to look that up.

Implementing old canonicalization schemes seems onerous, but I wonder if
it would be possible to just provide an option to be more permissive
about the version numbers.  That way, if the canonicalization change
only affects some messages/canonicalizations, it might be possible to
verify some additional messages.  I doubt that it would open any
significant exploits.
