Sub-issues to work on:

secp256k1 nostr keys can already be specified as subkeys, usable for signing records and encryption and signalled using flags to indicate the record signature scheme.
Mosaic servers do not need to know anything about nostr. The servers would be disjoint even in a compatible world.
Every Mosaic user perhaps MUST have a nostr subkey. This could enable certain compatibility solutions, and is feasible since Mosaic is still flexible enough to add such a requirement.
Creating records in a Mosaic client could "cross-post" the event onto nostr, with a tag linking back to the sister Mosaic record, and a tag in the Mosaic record also linking to the nostr events.
Replies to Mosaic records cross-posted to nostr should themselves be cross-posted to nostr.
How do we get nostr-only replies visible on Mosaic? Do Mosaic clients need to be dual-stacked to show those replies? Or should we wrap them in a bridge-owned event so they are entirely available on Mosaic?
