affine co-ordinates. A Jacobian projective co-ordinate (x, y, z) can be written
as an affine co-ordinate as (x/(z^2), y/(z^3)). Conversion to Jacobian
projective from affine co-ordinates is simple. The co-ordinate (x, y) is mapped
-to (x, y, 1). To set or get the projective co-ordinates use
+to (x, y, 1). Although deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0 and should no longer be used,
+to set or get the projective co-ordinates in older versions use
EC_POINT_set_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() and
EC_POINT_get_Jprojective_coordinates_GFp() respectively.
+Modern versions should instead use EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates() and
+EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates(), performing the conversion manually using the
+above maps in such rare circumstances.
Points can also be described in terms of their compressed co-ordinates. For a
