 * field contains the full ecdsa-with-SHA1 OID, not plain old ecPublicKey 
 * as would appear in other forms of signed datas. However Microsoft doesn't 
 * do this, it puts ecPublicKey there, and if we put ecdsa-with-SHA1 there, 
 * MS can't verify - presumably because it takes the digest of the digest 
 * before feeding it to ECDSA.
 * We handle this with a preference; default if it's not there is 
 * "Microsoft compatibility mode".
