Well, looking at it I think it's already well documented at:

https://www.freeipa.org/page/Web_App_Authentication#Kerberos

So maybe it doesn't need any change, although a link to the RFC and being
more explicit about the HTTP/ thing would be better, I guess... but now I
feel that the documentation is OK and I was just dumb :-p
