Well, conformant to what? I think, outside of Liberty, the best you can do
is just not violate the SAML core spec wrt to the token contents and how
they get used. So if there are concerns about whether something is "legal"
in terms of SAML core, I think that's well within our ability to answer.

I think that the SAML SSO->SAML w/ WSS kind of stuff is hard to do elegantly
without SAML 2.0, for whatever that's worth. It can look reasonably clean in
2.0.
