      It would be helpful for the documentation for the
      com.sun.security.auth.X500Principal class to explain how the principal name is
      canonicalized. The constructor appears to modify the principal name to put a
      single space between fields and use canonical values for field names.
      Permission grants specify explicit principal names which need to match the
      canonicalized name in the principal instance, so applications need to specify
      names in the canonical format correctly.
