This has been discussed already in the previous "last" call:

https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/83
and
https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2015-September/030288.html

As there was no consensus two years ago, I just added both elements to
0280 in https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/382

The rationale is to ensure widest compatibility without a namespace
bump:

- a client complying to the latest version adds both elements
- a server interprets the message as no-carbons-please if either element
  is present


I don't think there is a use-case where you only want to prevent a local
forwarding to your other client, or only a remote forwarding to the
receiver's other clients. For OTR at least, you want both.
