I remember another thread on the mailinglist (which I couldn't find)
where you told me (IIRC) that the only way to configure which NameID an
SP is supposed to use is via it's SP metadata. Then you can configure a
preference in relying-party.xml if the SP suggest multiple.

Did I understand it correctly?

For checking the SPs metadata I'm guessing we should use
MetadataNameIdentifierFormatStrategy?

Which predicate can be used for checking relying-party config?
