Most of them are on SAML 2 now and won't understand what you're asking, or will have it documented. That's about the only thing they document half the time.

Truth is, I don't know who you have in mind. In my experience, vendors don't handle metadata more often than not, so this doesn't come up in that context. If they do, I point them to InCommon's metadata, I don't give them metadata myself. Maybe that's the point here. Whether they're in InCommon is really irrelevant, that's where my metadata is for external consumption.
