consistent key formats are critical, need to converge on:
- endianness
- coordinate representation x, x&y, x and sign …
or bits to show which of these …. perhaps borrow ANSI method
- hint / indication of cipher suite / curve 
- text encoding of binary format (ascii)
- text encoding of binary format (utf8)
- human readable format

leaking crypto suite
key should be usable in other contexts besides pcp 0.15

one of several possible text encodings
Others might include:
- base 29 
- base 59
- base 4096 (for UTF8 channels)
