IdP initiated requests aren't SAML messages, so they won't cast to that
type, not in either version. In the 2.0 flow, the message decoder actually
creates a SAML request as a mock stand-in for what the request contained,
so it could be wired up with that action and not break, but there is no
AuthnRequest to mock up in SAML 1.
