Actually, CFRG's doing a consensus call to adopt a rough draft from agl containing Curve25519 as an RG document right now - and I feel fairly comfy saying we seem to have good consensus and running code for X25519 (the Montgomery-x key exchange over the curve known as Curve25519, introduced in that paper). Implementers are already pushing ahead. I wouldn't think the TLS group or anyone else needs to delay that work any longer - it's been quite long enough already in my opinion.
Not quite so sure about signatures, but that's more a PKIX WG problem with more (CA-style) inertia behind it, so that won't move very quickly no matter what. The chairs want to resolve signatures after the curve and key exchange algorithm, which the TLS WG participants seem to want sorted out first.
