A quick correction of the method 2 XML output:

<saml:Attribute Name="MyAttribute" NameFormat="myType">
   <saml:AttributeValue xmlns:myns="http://www.myns.org"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="myns:myType">&lt;myns:myType param1="foo" param2="bar"&gt;
   </saml:AttributeValue>
</saml:Attribute>

[ Note the escaped angle brackets that were converted to textual &lt; and 
&gt; sequences ]

Just be aware that if you're doing signing, you can't use pretty print. 
You have to serialize using  a mechanism that doesn't modify the signed
DOM, which pretty printing does.  That method is primarily only for use
in making log files or debug output more easily human-readable.

I thought that Scott and I had already answered that question.  For the
reasons Scott stated, you probably don't want the xsi:type to be
emitted.  You can achieve that by using one of the builder build(...)
methods that doesn't take the type QName argument.
