I read in some previous posts that it is not a good idea to change that
property for whatever reason.  Though, when I look through the code, it
is
only referenced in a couple of places.  What are the major implications
of 
setting that property outside of allowing the sign method to work on a
SAML 1.0 document?

Thanks,
