Thanks for checking this.  Can you tell me what happens if you import
a (GPG created) DSA2 key into PGP?  Is PGP then able to verify a DSA2
signature created with GPG?

It's reasonably common with this sort of thing to enable reading a new
feature before enabling writing it.  It's the whole
be-liberal-in-what-you-accept thing.
