Now that the JEP[1] for X25519/X448 key agreement is a candidate, we can 
proceed with the API and specification review. Please review the 
proposed API spec[2] and provide comments by the end of Saturday,  
January 13, anywhere on earth. At that point, I will combine your 
feedback with the initial feedback from the CSR group[3] and submit the 
API for final review by the CSR.

The only significant change to the API since our last discussion[4] is 
that I changed the names of the key specs and interfaces from "XDH..." 
to "XEC..." This makes them more general and reusable in things like 
XEdDSA[5] and other non-Diffie-Hellman cryptosystems based on the 
representations/operations defined in RFC 7748[6].
