SP metadata that supports both sha1 and sha2?

Ok.. so both copies of the metadata have different certs in
    <ds:Signature xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">
        <ds:KeyInfo>
            <ds:X509Data>
                <ds:X509Certificate>

Both copies of the metadata have unique values in
            <ds:KeyValue>
                <ds:RSAKeyValue>
                    <ds:Modulus>

The certs show up a second time, later in the metadata
    <md:SPSSODescriptor
protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">
        <md:KeyDescriptor use="encryption">
            <ds:KeyInfo xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#">
                <ds:X509Data>
                    <ds:X509Certificate>


My impression is that they're planning on rolling out a new signing cert as
part of their move to sha256.
    ...we still need to know if you were able to get SHA256 support
    working in a way that allows you to have both certs available, so that
there’s
    no outage incurred when we switch the encryption certificate on our
side to
    SHA256...
