Note: don't be too specific about how this authorization check should be
implemented, specifically don't require that authenticated principal's
display name or exported MN or gss_compare_name() or anything like that
should be used.  To speak of the authenticated principal's name
generally, or "NAME" (to more clearly reference the object type in
RFC2743) is sufficient.

We don't even do that. Joe quoted the relevant text, which is already in the document:

It is up to the server how it interprets the user name
and determines whether the client is authorized based on his GSS-API
credentials.

All the new text does is require that the check be done in the first place.
