No, not unless that prefix isn't declared somewhere to be the right namespace. If it's not handling them, there should be logs indicating why, but I don't know that this has ever been tested. I can't recall whether I ever tried it in an interop event, and the IdP we have doesn't support the feature (only at the assertion level).

It does.

Thank you for noticing.
