Yes doing so would violate the protocol.

You seem to be doing enough work with Kerberos that you are really better off taking the following steps:

1) subscribing to and reading the IETF working group list where
   protocol discussions take place.

2) Reading draft-ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-clarifications instead of RFC
   1510.

Start at http://www.ietf.org/, look for working groups and then look
for Kerberos.  This will include mailing list instructions as well as
pointers to the Kerberos drafts.
