Following discussion in https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/28497/files#r2591982487 I've

  • added subfeatures for ECDH and ECDSA algorithms under importKey
  • Populated them with data from the importKey, in particular the partial implementation notes.
  • Just for the keys now covered, I have removed those notes from the partial implementation.
  • Make compressed_elliptic_curve_points a subkey of those.
  • As per https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/pull/28497/files#r2596822093 there is also a lower leve which is the specific curve for the algorithm. Do we need these as subfeatures too? If so, as subfeatures of the method or of the algorithm>
  • I have not done all the other keys.

This is stellar, Hamish! I was mostly trying to leave a paper trail for when someone (me?) eventually got around to fixing this, but you've gone above and beyond. Thank you!

You're welcome. Keeping BCD correct is worth it.
