Yes, the current proposal is Kerberos Mechanism specific.
These sound reasonable.  I'll change them.

I'll look into this.

I began trying to come up with something general enough for Kerberos and
our (not-quite-complete) spkm-3 implementation, but it didn't seem
reasonable. The current plan is to have a separate mech-specific context
extraction routine. If anyone has ideas, that would be great.
