The Internet-Draft that specified Elliptic Curve (18) for OpenPGP is not
in the IETF archives. I'd work on it if there were a draft for it, but
I'm not going to pop some implementation out of my head when there's no
standard or even agreement on what it's supposed to be. Besides, some
curves are patented, so those curves cannot be in GnuPG, as that would
make it non-free.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they become soggy and hard to
light.
