This is the new text:

1.1.1   Element <Subject>
The <Subject> element specifies a party by any of the following means:
        *       A name.
        *       By information that allows the party to be authenticated.
        *       By reference to another assertion or by containment of
another assertion.
If a <Subject> element contains more than one subject specification the
issuer is asserting that all the subject specifications present specify the
same subject. For example if both a <NameIdentifier> and a <Authenticator>
element are present the issuer is asserting that the authentication data
authenticates the party with the specified name.
The following schema defines the <Subject> element:

 
Forgetting about the schema just for a moment, you might also want to change the wording in the above descriptive paragraph (e.g., where it says "<Authenticator>")...
