The document refers to SHA digests, not SHA-1 digests specifically.

Further investigation shows that these are not the same, at least for openssl:

pwd ~ : openssl sha /dev/null
SHA(/dev/null)= f96cea198ad1dd5617ac084a3d92c6107708c0ef
pwd ~ : openssl sha1 /dev/null
SHA1(/dev/null)= da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
pwd ~ :

[I assume that "openssl sha"  means SHA-0, but I could be wrong]

The document does not mention openssl, and gpg does not seem to
support SHA digests (whatever those may be), so presumably SHA means
SHA-1 in the document.
