Delegation with SSL

(1st in a series of questions.)

The Javadoc for SslServerEndpoint says that Delegation.YES is supported
'trivially, for anonymous clients'.

Surely:

(a) that should be 'non-anonymous', not 'anonymous'?=20

(b) 'trivially' needs expanding on?

In practice clearly 'trivially' means that the server can execute local c=
ode
'as' the client subject, but not remote methods that need client
authentication. Which is what I expected, SSL being a PKI-based
cryptosystem. But it's not what the Javadoc actually says.
