Shibboleth.sso/DS and Shibboleth.sso/Login

In reading the documentation, it seems to allow the use of multiple session
initiators, you need to put them inside a "Chaining" SessionInitiator
definition.

I guess that part of my confusion is that only place I've seen "Location"
set is in the chaining session initiator definition, e.g.

  <SessionInitiator type="Chaining" Location="/DS" id="DS" isDefault="true"
relayState="cookie" acsByIndex="false">

or

  <SessionInitiator type="Chaining" Location="/Login" isDefault="true"
id="Login" entityID="https://shibboleth.example.edu/idp/shibboleth">

I might guess that the first one is actually a SAMLDS initiator, and that
the second is a SAML2 initiator, but if I add location "/DS" to the SAMLDS
definition contained in the Chaining definition, the "/DS" location isn't
available.  My goal is to enable both the /DS and /Login locations, but I
think that Scott's previous message suggests that that might not (probably
isn't) necessary?
