Section 4 says:
If the initial response argument is omitted and the chosen mechanism requires an initial client response, the server MUST proceed as defined in Section 5.1 of [SASL]. [...] If use of the initial response argument would cause the AUTH command to exceed this length, the client MUST NOT use the initial response parameter (and instead proceed as defined in Section 5.1 of [SASL]).
It should say:
If the initial response argument is omitted and the chosen mechanism requires an initial client response, the server MUST proceed as defined in Section 5.1 of [RFC 2222]. [...] If use of the initial response argument would cause the AUTH command to exceed this length, the client MUST NOT use the initial response parameter (and instead proceed as defined in Section 5.1 of [RFC 2222]).
Notes:
[SASL] points to RFC 4422 that does not contain a Section 5.1.
So the Original text leads to confusion. The referenced Text can be found in RFC 2222 instead.
