But the support is in JDK 13 and not too long ago.

I understand the "The `ECKeyValue` type ... is supported" does not match this RFE exactly, but the words on `NamedCurve` and `ECParameters` can still be written here. Or, shall we add a release note for JDK-8219013 (Update Apache Santuario to version 2.1.3) describing "what's new"?
