Confused about Default Routes in RIP

Doyle & Solie both discuss the origination of default routes in RIP.....

Basically, add a static default route, pointing to an IP address or interface within the RIP process, and a 0.0.0.0/0 is automatically generated, and propagated (see my config below).

However, I can't seem to replicate this! The only way I can originate the default in RIP is to use "default-info originate" under the RIP process.....

Why the discrepancy? Is the Doyle / Solie method only applicable to older IOS versions, and the default-info originate method become the new way of doing things?

My configs for the Doyle / Solie method is as follows: (no 0.0.0.0/0 is generated)

interface Loopback2
 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
!
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 128.100.1.13 255.255.255.0
!
router rip
 network 10.0.0.0
 network 128.100.0.0
!
no ip http server
ip classless
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2
!
