That said, IIRC CMS supports EC public keys, by performing off-line
ECDH:

commit 88e20b8584a78c803eca7aa9fcf8c46ff0ece4ae
Author: Dr. Stephen Henson <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed Jul 17 15:13:37 2013 +0100

    Add support for ECDH KARI.
    
    Add support for ECDH in enveloped data. The CMS ctrls for the EC ASN1
    method decode/encode the appropriate parameters from the CMS ASN1 data
    and send appropriate data to the EC public key method.

And further refinements in later commits.
