Yep, looks like a bug. I'll fix the format expressions in cvs.

Well, you are correctly interpreting the issue, yes. There is no "right"
answer in the sense that if I was more inclined to make the thing support
both versions simultaneously, I could have, but I didn't choose to do it. So
it's an on/off switch that configures which schemas are used, and which
rules are enforced in ID values.

If you're using SAML 1.0 products, use that mode and I will endeavor to fix
any interop problems, except for digital signature issues.
