Well, using "edugain" in the Name is confusing since eduGAIN also uses
"edugain" in the name, but honestly, if you have any say in this, it
is best if the Name XML attribute is omitted altogether.

That's a different problem.

Anything local to an EntityDescriptor is an "entity characteristic."
For example: entityID, entity attributes, registrar ID, etc.

No, that's something altogether different and irrelevant to your
