It's also generally something to avoid in XSD anyway. I didn't think we
used it much in SAML, but I have no doubt it's in there somewhere by
accident.

We might be able to clean that up a bit in a revision to at least limit
implementation-required support ranges, much as XSD does anyway.

You're not obligated as a conforming processor to handle infinite sizes.
And in fact, handling that at one layer doesn¹t matter much if the parser
blows up anyway.
