I don't understand the question. If you're dealing with XML, you have access
to the objects that make up the attribute value, and it's up to you to
consume them.

Only in specific communities, and much less so with SAML 1.1.

I don't really understand why you're implementing a standard that's been
superseded for nearly 4 years either. When you have to, you have to, but you
don't *just* implement the out of date one.
