That's in the referenced external spec. It's not 1 to 1, so we still need to specify subprime size.

RE: CKA_SUBPRIME and CKM_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN... there should be no change. CKM_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN still only generates 1024 bit keys in this proposal..

(NOTE: these would have been great comments when I posted the spec several weeks ago).
