I suggest that the entire Appendix A be removed, as it duplicates
draft-irtf-cfrg-curves-11 and it is too difficult and tedious to verify
that it matches what draft-irtf-cfrg-curves-11 says.

Also, it doesn't say anything about X448. I've noticed that the draft has a
few other places that talk specifically about Curve25519 or X25519 where
instead it should talk more generally about both the curves
in draft-irtf-cfrg-curves-11. These should be cleared up too.

Cheers,
Brian
