We don't really have a definitive reference for the format of entries in
htcommon/defaults.cc.  The test is to cd to htdoc and run cf_generate.pl,
and if that works, you probably have the right format.  It appears you
followed the example of other entries faithfully.  The "SLI-special"
would have to be changed to the current version number if this were
commited to CVS.

By the way, the patch is missing the changes needed in htdig/Document.h,
to correspond to Document.cc changes.
