+1 from the Mozilla side.

To the extent that there is any more work to be done, it is in specifying
any further algorithms that are necessary.  I would caveat, though, that we
should not take on any deliverables on non-NIST elliptic curves before the
CFRG process closes.  While they are quite a bit behind schedule, they
appear to be closing in on a solution.

I'm don't have an urgent need for Streams support, but wouldn't object to
adding the scope.
