I've changed the text to read: 
"Authentication from earlier binds are subsequently ignored. A failed or abandoned Bind Operation has the effect of leaving the connection in an anonymous state. To arrive at a known authentication state after abandoning a bind operation, clients may either unbind, rebind, or make use of the BindResponse."

Hopefully this covers it.

I'll let Roger address those
