Ok, but I wouldn't call that a test of NameID Mapping. I asked a few times
on calls whether we considered encryption a separate conformance item, but I
got the sense people considered all uses of encryption in core to be MTI
(subject to whatever algorithms we require). So if that's a concern, people
should speak up.

But NameID Mapping is a separate protocol, it just happens to make use of
encryption. And I don't think it's an SP thing, in the sense that we define
SP as the relying party for SSO.
