I have not talked to Scott about this yet, but my thoughts mirror
yours closely.  Regarding Cullen's proposed change:

I was also wondering if a happy medium would be reached if we made
the normative dependency on I-D.sip-eku a function of an EKU being
present at all in the certificate.  Text of the form you suggest
above sounds eminently reasonable.  Those implementations that want
to go beyond the call of duty for services such as SIPConnect will
be conscientious enough to then implement I-D.sip-eku.

Regarding making the drafts essential corrections and whether or
not to pack both drafts into one, I will defer to the WG.  I
certainly had not viewed the drafts as an essential correction,
but did view them as work that updates rfc3261.  However, and I
believe I also speak for Scott here, our preference is to keep
them standards track.

Thanks,
