Support.

(Some obsolete refs, maybe also merge Ed448 if it makes out
fast enough).

Support.

(looks like one paragraph assumes keys are 32 octets, where those
might also be 56).

Support.

Why is this separate from Ed25519 draft? Due to CFRG draft stuff?

Expected to merge with Ed25519 draft later if CFRG-EDDSA makes
out?

Anyway: I think this should be done one way or another.

I don't think mixing ECDH and signature keys is a good idea. However,
this approach would be good for ECDH keys, which I do have heard
requests for.

That is, drop PH and add SHOULD for using the ECDH algorithm.

Support.
