I think I understand the concern now.

I have updated the wiki page to add a bullet point to try to make this more clear.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/SecurityEngineering/mozpkix-testing#Things_for_CAs_to_Fix
"1. All new intermediate certificates that include the EKU extension and will be used for SSL certificate issuance, must include the id-kp-serverAuth (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1) EKU. Mozilla will stop recognizing the "Netscape Server Gated Crypto (2.16.840.1.113730.4.1)" EKU. - Intermediate certificates are not required to have an EKU, but if an intermediate certificate does have an EKU and the intermediate will be used for SSL, then it must have the id-kp-serverAuth EKU. See sections #8, 9, and 10 of Mozilla's CA Certificate Inclusion Policy."

OK?

Thanks,
Kathleen
