I have four handlers registered with SAMLNameIdentifier, one for each
SAML 1.1 format URI.  (I'm primarily interested in X509SubjectName and
emailAddress.)  Each has its own unit test.

Well, this doesn't always work.  If one nameid has no format attribute
and another nameid is explicitly set to 'unspecified', the two
elements are comparable, aren't they?  (I've written an equals method
for SAMLNameIdentifier that takes this into account.)
