The text that was there could not be acted upon by a CA or an RP
requesting a cert. The cited field are in KU, not EKU, and were
already described in the immediately preceding paragraph. So, this
text, which is a MAY, just provides guidance (for a CA or RP re a cert
request) consistent with what is already described earlier in this
RFC.
i do not intend to have a tantrum or even make a fuss. i just think we
need to be careful what we call errata.

No problem. I submitted this as an errata at Sean Turner's suggestion.
He found the bug in the RFC and brought it to the attention of Geoff
and me.

The "right thing to do" seems to be to confirm this as a technical
errata so that
implementers are aware of the issue.
Does anyone disagree?
