Well, at least for the web, DSA is no longer an option because
major browsers have dropped support for it.

Unfortunately, it is not just signers, it is also verifiers.

Well, no (projected) use. Many features have been stripped from TLS
1.3 on those grounds only.


Also, if DSA was to be supported, one would need to specify how to
determine the hash function (use of fixed SHA-1 doesn't fly). And
1024-bit prime is too small.
