Note: ECC isn't in the base spec, really. 

More precisely, the code points are defined in 4492. 

All the ECC that's defined in 5246 is the rules for what sorts of
certificates may be used for a given algorithm, and that's because
5246 changed the rules beyond 4346 and so we wanted to have them all
in one place.
