It *can*, but all it wants is the JSON, it doesn't care where it comes from.

There are other ways to produce it. Ian threw an MDA appliance thing together for me years ago that could do it, we're talking about possibly reviving that. Either way, the IdP isn't going to go back to loading 3G of metadata just to spit out that JSON so once the SP is replaced we have to come up with something else.

XSLT could do it, and a streaming parser producing JSON out is another option.

I asked Internet2 a while back to consider producing a feed of it alongside the XML too. Me alone asking when I have nothing that needs it isn't going to take the conversation far.
