I hadn't considered renewal/validation of service tickets.  (Which is
rare, but probably not so rare that we can throw it away.)

If the KDC needs to re-sign CAMMACs during renewal/validation, then it
does need a way to verify that it originated them.  Otherwise the target
service could get the KDC to help it forge a trusted-svc-signature on
arbitrary authdata elements.

I'm not sure whether the current drafts require the CAMMAC to be
re-signed on renewal/validation.  Certainly, if the svc-signature uses
the session key and the trusted-svc-signature encompasses the
svc-signature (as Sam suggested) then re-signing would be necessary.
