looks good, check my comments.
Also I was wondering if we can reuse the group interface.

Note that GenerateKey function can loop more than once, requesting more bytes from the reader.

Suggested change
buf := make([]byte, sch.PrivateKeySize())
_, _ = h.Read(buf)
rnd := bytes.NewReader(buf)
key, x, y, err := elliptic.GenerateKey(sch.curve, rnd)
key, x, y, err := elliptic.GenerateKey(sch.curve, h)

Ah, good point. h doesn't implement io.Reader though.

this doesn't address my comment.
you need to pass the xof object, and remove buf.

  1. xof already implements io.reader
  2. the issue is that buf has fixed size, but it is not guaranteed that reader will be called only one time. It could be called many times.

Might be possible, yes.
