We would like to be able to apply any of these to our ECC root.  Initially I
would imagine we will position certificates with ECC keys as being a
high-end product and will not include DV certificates of any kind in the
product range, but we would like to retain the ability to issue ECC DV
certificates (including wildcards) at least until we establish that the
market no longer requires them.

Not many!  We do issue quite a number for organizations to use internally on
other names, though.  
E.g. if we have a server on our corporate intranet called wiki.comodo then I
might want a certificate to allow me to use https://wiki.comodo.  I can't
buy an SSL certificate from one of our range of Internet SSL certificates
because I can't pass the domain validation step.  Hence we have a different
product range which, rather than validating domain ownership, validates that
the domain name is not usable on the internet.
