Ok, what specifically is in the request? What kind of query is it? You could
just dump the XML out with saml.toStream().

Well, it means the library reading in the object isn't registered to know
about the type of query in the request, I guess.

To say that this is outside my ability to support would be an
understatement. If it's not my code as delivered by me, there's not much I
can tell you. There's no bug in the current version like this.

I think you probably need to use only the Globus supplied code and not
anything from OpenSAML unless you're separated by a process boundary and can
use anything you want to.
