I would really like to see Ed25519 and Curve25519 DH support in a card.

For the old curves the card should behave similar to gpg-agent; thus
being protocol neutral and it is not required that the rfc-6637 ECDH
algorithm is implemented by the card.

If the NIST curves are found to be bugged we should also be cautious
with the Brainpool curves.
