Yes.

I think that some improvements would be expected for ECC.  My specific
interests are the point format(s) and Curve25519 support.

There are two drafts for new point formats:

    Compact representation of an elliptic curve point (expired):
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jivsov-ecc-compact-05

    EdDSA for OpenPGP:
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-koch-eddsa-for-openpgp-02

And, IIUC, we will introduce another point format for Curve25519.
