So you intentionally quibble over trivia in order to turn this into a long and pointlessly boring argument... >From drafts of 2459 around 20 years ago until 5280 the spec said you shouldn't use PKUP (3280 was even more strongly worded than the original 2459 text I cited, "This extension SHOULD NOT be used within the Internet PKI"), and then 5280 removed mention of it. The majority of the PKI implementations I'm aware of date from well before 5280, when the "don't use PKUP" was in force. That's why I pointed out that support for it in implementations could be hard to find.
