The ECC/RSA issue is not that difficult to resolve. The API needs to allow both ECC and RSA to be relevant today, with a method for feature detection. We know some browsers, such as Firefox on Red Hat Linux/Fedora and Internet Explorer on Windows XP, don't have built-in support of ECC. Servers will figure out whether they should use RSA or ECC (or even both) depending on the target browsers they need to support. So I don't think we need to resort to exposing the underlying big num math library, which would open a new can of worms. Wan-Teh
