I've always viewed kinit -s as an incredibly special purpose function
that required you have complete control of the resulting credentials
and their use.
I think it might be reasonable to allow kinit -s host/foo.com@ to work
but I don't think it a requirement to provide a mechanism for knowing
whether a realm should be specified or not.
