No it does not. There were changes to the table, but s2.2 is still there and 
that’s where it says “… MUST contain an RSA public key authorized for signing 
..."

It’s either a replace or note the name change (i.e., in my mind this is a style 
thing).  The 1st paragraph of s5.1.1 notes them;

   RFC 4492 defined 25 different curves in the NamedCurve registry
  (now renamed the "Supported Groups" registry, although the enumeration
  below is still named NamedCurve) for use in TLS.
