SPs have been ignoring RequestedAuthnContext for years and still they
have been able to communicate with IdPs just fine. In other words,
unless you have some special requirement (which is going to require a
prearranged agreement between the SP and IdP anyway), simply omit the
RequestedAuthnContext altogether and just let the IdP do its thing.
