I haven't yet been able to relate the text there to my understanding
(limited that it is) of channel binding.

I'll just note that if the requirement is really to carry GSS-API CB data,
there's already a slot for that in a SAML protocol extension I defined.

But what's the CB data here? All I know of is TLS-based CB.

I thought the goal was to relate the AAA entity sending the message to the
SAML entity issuing it, and that wouldn't be Recipient.

If you're trying to target the message to a receiving identity that
certainly could be Recipient, but if you're not signing, I don't see the
relevance of populating that as a security measure.
