It isn't because it isn't a constraint. How you identify principals in any
given context is implementation-specific. If you want to implement policies
controlling who can initiate operations around particular principals, you
can do that. It's up to customers what they expect products to do.

The only places there are specific mentions of the need to *not* allow for
identifier "fuzziness" in identifying principals is in subject matching for
some messages and in the NameIDMgmt protocol.
