So this has been there for a while :(  It should be pointing to the EKU 
defined in s3.1.3.1.  It's an just an OID you stick in the EKU extension.

I'm trying to avoid copying all the text from 6487 over in to this 
draft.  I would just point there, but I can see somebody doing something 
silly like not understanding that the restrictions on the validation 
procedure are in bgpsec-pki-profiles draft.  So how about this:

   The validation procedure used for BGPSEC Router Certificates is
   identical to the validation procedure described in Section 7 of
   [RFC6487].  The exception is that the constraints applied come
   from this specification (e.g., in step 3: the certificate
   contains all the field that must be present - refers to the
   fields that are required by this specification).
