As the client fetches individual service tickets these can be added to
the ccache... But a ccache should be associated with but one user
principal. A set of KDC_REPs would not do...

That said, an unencrypted KRB_CRED would do. And it would make it
trivial to serialize a ccache (and area of MIT krb5 code that needs
work).
