I'm inclined to agree with you, but you might be interested/horrified in 
the "1024 bits is enough for anyone" debate currently unfolding on the 
TLS list:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg10009.html

and there was a similar discussion on the OpenSSL list recently, with 
GnuTLS getting "blamed" for using the ECRYPT recommendations rather than 
1024:
