I'd say the reference to BSD, implying that it's the canonical source for these numbers without nailing down a more specific version, is the error. And I've suggested that it be removed or changed in kerberos-clarifications.
You don't say what version of BSD system you're looking at. The NetBSD sources use 24 for AF_INET6, not 22. A copy of the 4.4BSD-Lite Release 2 sources I found (June, 1995) has values through 25 assigned, but no AF_INET6 at all. And Linux uses 10, so unless you're writing BSD-only apps, the correlation is useless anyways. Don't assume that Kerberos address type numbers and UNIX AF_* values have any relationship. If you're converting addresses from one form to another, you'll need a mapping for the address type values.
