The correct way to use high-grade ciphers is.

        "DEFAULT:!EXPORT:!LOW:!MEDIUM"

The various individual cipherlist building blocks are properly orthogonal,
and HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/EXPORT covers only the symmetric algorithm strength.

One can also use it safely via constructs such as "HIGH:!aNULL:!aDSS:!kRSA"
(if say one also wants to disable DSA and RSA key transport).
