I am agreeing with Adrian's comment.

From SecDir review:

OLD:
   GS2 does not use any GSS-API per-message tokens.  Therefore the
   setting of req_flags related to per-message tokens is irrelevant.

NEW:
   GS2 does not use any GSS-API per-message tokens.  Therefore the
   per-message token ret_flags from GSS_Init_sec_context() and
   GSS_Accept_sec_context() are irrelevant; implementations SHOULD NOT
   set the per-message req_flags.


Nico has suggested to add:

    FLAG	SERVER CB SUPPORT	DISPOSITION
    ----	-----------------	-----------

    n		Irrelevant		If server disallows non-channel-
                                        bound authentication, then fail

    y		CB not supported	Authentication may succeed

    y		CB supported		Authentication must fail

    p		CB supported		Authentication may succeed, with
                                        CB used

    p		CB not supported	Authentication will fail

    <none>	CB not supported	Client does not even try because
                                        it insists on CB
