Sean found RFC 5280, 4.2.1.12:

   id-kp-timeStamping            OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-kp 8 }
   -- Binding the hash of an object to a time
   -- Key usage bits that may be consistent: digitalSignature
   -- and/or nonRepudiation

so it seems either is OK. That said, it's just a "may", and to me it reads more like that others are NOT consistent and should be rejected.
