Whether it continues to work when someone is using a specific provider 
is not relevant. This is a Java SE API, and must work independent of any 
particular implementation.

It's an incompatible change. Code such as the following would break:

AlgorithmParameterSpec params = XECKey.getParams();

The way to address this would be to add another method to XECKey that 
returns a NamedParameterSpec. We could consider this as an Enhancement 
request.
