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

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25618

--- Comment #59 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
According to the list discussion, I have generalized the curve extensibility
for ECDSA and ECDH slightly:

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/2eecd936e1e8
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/rev/24e0e32852f8

According to my understanding this would allow curve25519 and other curves to
be added to the existing ECDSA and ECDH algorithms through extension
specifications.

Please also remember that even if a proposed curve does not fit with these
extensibility points, a new algorithm can always be added (and probably should
be if the curve is so very different that it does not fit into the newly
generalized extension points).
