Simplified OpenPGP should be just simplifed, I mean it is not used for

  AES 128 / SHA256 / DSA 2048-224 / RSA 2048 / ECC 224

I think it is enough for a sort of casual cryptographic usage for next ten
years.

Sounds good, with one minor nitpick: I'd recommend combining DSA 2048 with
SHA256, SHA224 is an oddball hash algorithm that seems to be rather poorly
supported (compared to the mainstream SHA256/512), and if you're requiring
SHA256 anyway there's no good reason not to just use that with DSA.
