This draft doesn't contain any motivation on why anyone would want
this.

I believe it's not desirable to have a maximally large number of
algorithms specified for TLS. To the contrary, I believe it'd be good
to keep things as simple as possible and limit choices if there's no
good reason for them.
I don't think there's any reason for the brainpool curves except NIH
syndrome.
