Saying "it's important" doesn't make logout magically work though.

If you want to see it not work, turn off third party cookies and then try 
any implementation you can find.

I'm sorry that people are frustrated by that, but we didn't create the 
situation.

SSO and shared machines are not compatible concepts.

No, SOAP does not require WSDL, certainly nothing this trivial. It is 
entirely defined by a message contract, and for a trivial message format, 
WSDL is overkill, but if you want WSDL, nobody's stopping you. But I don't 
know WSDL.

Have at it, but you don't need WSDL to handle a trivial SOAP message.

Ok. You're welcome to put it in the wiki.

The SP doesn't have any way to enumerate those rules, those are in Apache. 
It already supports multiple Notify elements.
