Hm, I'm not sure that anything like that *could* exist.  The RFCs are
concerned with the on-the-wire protocol; locally configured mappings would
be outside their scope.  MIT Kerberos and Heimdal are different
implementations that could well use different logic.  Shishi is yet
another implementation with its own logic.  Microsoft might do something
else.

I don't think this is the kind of area where you are going to get that
sort of document.
