DSA = DSS?

[John Bacalle]

As far as I can tell from reading docs and FAQs[1] DSA (as it appears in
GnuPG) is the same as DSS under PGP (as it appears in PGP 5/6), yes? 

IOW, in all the reading I've done it's implicit/tacit that GnuPG will
inter-operate with PGP, with the exception of RSA! So, I take that to
mean that GnuPG's -- Pubkey: ELG-E, DSA, ELG -- DSA and ElGamal default
key pair option is therefore synonymous with PGP's DSS. 

Straighten me out, please.
