[Bug 25618] Extensibility: Offer spec-blessed ways to extend the algorithms and curves, rather than monkey-patching the spec from bugzilla@jessica.w3.org on 2014-10-18 (public-webcrypto@w3.org from October 2014)

--- Comment #61 from Mike Jones <Michael.Jones@microsoft.com> ---
The JWK elliptic curve language has been generalized to allow new curves to be
registered that represent their keys using only an “x” value, rather than
always requiring “x” and “y” values.  See
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-algorithms-35#section-6.2.1
and 6.2.1.1.

I’m calling this out to WebCrypto because I believe this opens the door for new
curves for WebCrypto to have the same flexibility.
