That's always concerned me about ECC certs, all you can say about a key is
"ECC", not "signing key" or "key agreement key" (I'm sure this was seen as a
great feature when the key format was designed, "ECC is so much more flexible
than RSA, you can use it for anything!").  My code explicitly ACLs ECC keys
coming from certs to be signing-only in order to deal with this problem.
