Just as another point, I do make use of the Hungarian extension for SLO in
the Shib IdP, but I also make available what I call a simple logout page
as well. That simple page just kills the IdP session. I don't try to
publish it in the metadata, I just tell the RP's that they can use that if
they don't want to do SLO. Many of them do have a configuration point in
their application to send a user to a certain URL at the end of their
logout process.
