David,
I see the Sundang as both. They can certainly be used very efficiently for fighting and look pretty darn fine in quality dress.
The tang and fixing methods are no different to that of the Dha/Daab and they survive aok and remain unquestioned about their fighting ability.
I have and have had them with and without asang asang...personally I see little value for money in having these pieces attached to Kris and Sundang...
