Hmm, I don't see why.  The reason to write a SAML HTTP(s) binding would be
so that SAML-savvy software could send SAML Requests and Responses via
HTTP(s).  But this is just about an ordinary browser sending in a HTTP
POST some data that happens to be a (signed) SAML Response.  Two different
animals (one of which remains theoretical, at least for now).
