matchingRuleUse / extensibleMatch



Two questions:
 
1) In [Models], MatchingRuleUseDescription.APPLIES says: "provides a list of attribute types the matching rule applies to". Does this include or exclude subtypes?
 
2) In [Protocol], SearchRequest.filter.extensibleMatch says: "If the type field is absent and the matchingRule is present, the matchValue is compared against all attributes in an entry which support that matchingRule.". Does this mean "as determined by any matchingRuleUse for that mathing rule", or "as determined by any matchingRuleUse, or the EQUALITY, ORDERING, or SUBSTR rules of the attribute"?
 
Whatever the answers are to these, I don't find it obvious by reading the text.
