right answer. Now that we have actual information about DSA2, perhaps
it would be worth revisiting that question. A new algorithm ID for
DSA2 resolves a number of problems in one fell swoop as there is no
expectation of interoperability. SHA-256 is always usable
(effectively the default) for DSA2, and there is no problem with
knowing when it is possible to use truncation (always).
Sounds good to me.
I support this too. The majority of keys are DSA keys q=160 bit.
Having a new algorithm indentifier will help more than harm.
