Some older versions of TLS had a requirement that all certificates in the cert chain must be signed using the same type of key. However, NSS has never enforced that and AFAICT most other implementations haven't either. However, some CAs won't sign ECDSA certificates with their RSA certificates for reasons that are better described by them than me.
