Exposing supported AuthnContextClasses in IdP Metadata

Hello list.
We'd like to make IdPs able to expose supported AuthnContextClasses in
their metadata, the same way they are already able to expose supported
NamedID formats (<NameIDFormat>), supported attributes
(<saml:Attribute>), ... Unless I'm wrong, there seems to be no such
element already suitable for this usage.
I'm currently hesitating between two options:
- a multivalued entity attribute
- a dedicated metadata extension
The first one seems the easiest to achieve (no additional schema needed)
A dedicated metadata extension would however provide a better
visibility, but may have unwanted impact on other SAML implementation.
The main intended usage is metadata filtering at discovery and SP level,
to target only MFA-capable IdPs.
Regards.
