[Bug 25618] Extensibility: Offer spec-blessed ways to extend the algorithms and curves, rather than monkey-patching the spec

--- Comment #57 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
I have implemented the revised proposal from Richard in the Editor's draft:

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/4677d99c9a2e
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/ae06638b018b

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/d17c700dd816

This proposal considerably limits the extensibility for elliptic curves to
those with various similarities to the existing NIST curves. Closing this bug
should be dependent on resolving that issue, which I have explained in more
detail on the list:
