I have 1.3.6.1.4.1.11591 but it is much longer. If you can allocate one OID for PKIX-EdDSA and one for PKIX-Ed25519 we have two values to work with for doing a PKIX EdDSA or Ed25519 draft. It is not clear to me which approach is best, and if you have room for two OIDs let have two different from the start in case people want to experiment with both. Thank you for thinking of saving bytes here! :-) /Simon
