That's nice. If this is supposed to be used in certificates, an OID as well as some guidance on how to store the keys in ECPoint format will be required.
I hope Simon knows more about that. An object identifier for the algorithm is definitely needed. If at all possible, I think public keys should be represented as plain strings of 32 octets, with no additional wrapping. It's very intentional that the eddsa paper defines all inputs and outputs as octet strings, with no structure that applications or protocols should care about.
