Small update to BIP 62



Summary:

The author is questioning the rationale behind rule #4 and why it seems to be exempt from certain considerations. They acknowledge that not having to support all of DER is convenient, but note that most implementations and libraries do support it. The author also expresses a preference for backwards compatibility, citing a past instance where modifying transaction rules without version number changes caused issues with an iPhone client. They believe preserving compatibility should be the default choice until old versions have been phased out.
