Well, the link above says:

"The RFC3280 determine that the following attributes should be provided for 
TLS connections:
Mode    Key usage       Extended key usage
Client  digitalSignature,keyAgreement   TLS Web Client Authentication
Server  digitalSignature,keyEncipherment,keyAgreement   TLS Web Server 
Authentication
"

So, I don't think this is specific to OpenVPN.
