Hey Jahan,

But that <SubjectConfirmationData> and <ds:KeyInfo> pertain to how the 
subject may be re-authenticated in the future, not necessarily how he was 
authenticated, right?

I wonder if a <ds:KeyInfo> could also be used in the <Advice> element to 
pass through things like the cert, cert-chain, or public-key the subject 
authenticated with.

Is that an extension that might make sense for SAML 1.1?
