Its pretty clear it could be either of those, though I have to say the
I-D doesn't really work properly in this respect.

It inherits the Certificate Usage field from 6698 - but 6698
references TLS and TLS servers and things like that. I fear the I-D
really needs to redefine the usages in an S/MIME context.
