EC Point Representations

As a heads up for those not following the cfrg mailing list at the IETF.

 

It is possible that we will need to make the ECPoint typedef be a property
of the curve rather than the algorithm name.  There are discussions about
the curve Curve25519 and it's point representation which do not use the
X9.62 specification and in fact are specified as being little endian rather
than big endian.  (They are looking at only passing the x if I understand
things correctly but that is a big if at this point.)
