I'm afraid SP and EDS are not compatible with each other if _saml_idp contains multiple entityIDs. There are two points of view:
1) Which one is the most recent
2) What string can be used as a delimiter

From my preliminary test:
SP: the last is most recent, concatenated by '%20'
EDS: the first is most recent, concatenated by '+'

I don't know which semantics is right, but it is useful for me if both softwares use the same semantics.

Sincerely,
Takeshi
