Hi,

I have updated the document a bit.  It appears likely that EdDSA will be
usable with other parameters than Ed25519, so I made the EdDSA
parameters an algorithm parameter rather than implied from the OID.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-pkix-eddsa-01

An (already outdated) example of an EdDSA X.509 certificate and EdDSA
public-key is also included, so you can throw it at your ASN.1 parsers.
