How to define a hierarchy of authentication methods for "minimum" comparision

No, and it's non-interoperable so is not a good thing to do.

The weight map has nothing to do with this use case, that's for choosing values in a response when there are multiple options.

The comparison rules are built up out of lists of methods that are stuck into a map. The key is the method to compare and the lists are the stronger or weaker methods.

The beans for it were in the authn-comparison.xml file but were pulled because they're never used so they were just confusing people. What little documentation there is is in [1] but it's probably not enough to really use the feature.
