Could one not use the Lim Lee safe prime generation method for DSA?

DSS explicitly specifies how to generate primes for DSA keys. It can be
easily generalized for larger keys and other hash functions, and its
reasonable to assume that the new DSS will do that.
My estimates were based on that specification.
You only have to follow DSS if you want FIPS-140 and the like, of course.
