yeah, sort of.

The text that was there could not be acted upon by a CA or an RP 
requesting a cert. The cited field are in KU, not EKU, and were 
already described in the immediately preceding paragraph. So, this 
text, which is a MAY, just provides guidance (for a CA or RP re a 
cert request) consistent with what is already described earlier in 
this RFC.
