Since SCRAM is still in AUTH48, I thought I'd bring this up once more.

It's a simple case of "do comments bind to the thing above or below
them", but, considering that the two errors in question are "hey, I do
support channel binding" and "I don't support channel binding", clearing
this up would be great.

For reference, I think the comment is in the wrong place here (it should
appear *after* "channel-binding-not-supported") because the comment
comes after the error in question for these two:
                  "extensions-not-supported" /  ; unrecognized 'm' value
and
                  "invalid-username-encoding" /
                    ; invalid username encoding (invalid UTF-8 or
                    ; SASLprep failed)
