Hash: SHA1

Hi.

In the specification for the DSIG table, page 90 in the Open Font Format
specification, there is this item:

2. Hash the full stream of bytes using a secure one-way hash (such as
   MD5) to create the content dig


Well, MD5 is *no more* considered secure:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5


Although MD5 is used just as an example, I propose that the text of the
specification should be changed, and another hash algorithm used.


Regards  Manlio
