As for the certificateUsageProtectedObjectSigner, this flag would prevent
CERT_VerifyCertificate from doing important checks like certificate chain and
revocation.

certificateUsageObjectSigner is set when there is the extended key usage
SEC_OID_EXT_KEY_USAGE_CODE_SIGN which is defined in RFC 3280 as "Signing of
downloadable executable code". This may fit for signing extensions but not for
documents. Then the Netscape certificate type EMAIL is more suitable. An X509
certificate gets automatically this type, when the the X509 extended key usage
is not present. Therefore I am against allowing certificates with this
particular extended key usage as well as the corresponding Netscape certificate
type.

I will probably not make it to have a look into the second patch during the next
time. Sorry.
