As an implementor, the question remains: when I verify a signature, what
q sizes should I allow for a given p? For example, what q is OK for a p
of 1536? What q is OK for a p of 4096? Should I just make something up?
How is that going to promote interoperability?
For implementation of signature verification you can just take p and q
straight from the public key. You don't need to guess since the key
has all the information you need.
