Infact, SSPI is a proprietary GSS-API implemenation but I do understand
what you are referring to. I have trouble phrasing this in a unambigious
way.

Is this better: requires a GSS-API implementation (Unix-like OS) such as
Heimdal or MIT Kerberos, or SSPI (native Windows)

In general, those who know that SPNEGO is, will know the difference
between GSS-API and SSPI, IMHO.

How would you rephrase that?
