Subject: Open-PGP Q re DSA and keys > 1024 bit

To all,

Upon reading 2440bis re DSA and a ElGamal key length limit of 1024 bits, I 
was wondering what the Open-PGP group recommends for signing if you use 
ElGamal keys > 1024 bits?

If you do use ElGamal Keys > 1024 bits, should you have another set of keys 
<=1024 bits for signing or is there a standard way to reduce 2048 bit PGP 
keys down to 1024 bits suitable for the DSA signature algorithm?

TIA for any info.

Regards
