The format attribute is the SAML visible part, it has nothing to do with how
the handle is actually generated. The type attribute, however, is hardcoded
to CryptoHandleGenerator to correspond to the class that implements that
particular algorithm.

The current design (which I think Walter may be changing) is that the Format
attribute is used to find the right NameMapping element to use, and then the
type in that tells the HS what class to use to generate the NameID.
