How it looks depends on your chosen namespace prefixes and what's defined in the XML "context" you put the examples into. Undefine all the prefixes and none of the examples would work. Add new prefixes and they won't be defined.

Then you would just have to define it to "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

All the tags used by the IdP with this feature must have the proper NameFormat for URI naming that the IdP and SP all rely on for everything. Defaulting that won't work, it literally won't be the right tag.

No, because you omitted the proper NameFormat, but if you mean the boolean conversion, it will do the best it can to convert strings to booleans.
