Terminology issue

Hello.

As a federation operator, we spend a lot of time explaning tou our 
community (and to private sector third-parties) than most SAML 
implementations on the market don't support loading metadata aggregates, 
and thus are not compatible with the way we work.

What makes our explanation difficult to understand is than most of them 
still support loading single-entity metadata, so we can't designate the 
required functionality as "support for XML metadata loading".

So, excepted a reference to the "Metadata for the OASIS Security
Assertion Markup Language (SAML) V2.0" specification, is there a 
non-ambiguous designation for this feature ?
