Basically, yes. My latest prototype has something like:
class XDHPublicKeyImpl extends X509Key implements ByteArrayKey, PublicKey

So it supports X.509 encoding through getEncoded(), and raw encoding 
through ByteArrayKey. But perhaps ByteArrayKey and X.509 encoding is not 
necessary---see Xuelei's latest suggestion on this thread related to this.
