The AuthorityBinding element may be used to indicate
to a replying party receiving an AuthenticationStatement that
a SAML authority may be available to provide additional information about
the subject of the statement. A single SAML authority may advertise its
presence over multiple protocol binding, at multiple locations, and as
more than one kind of authority by sending multiple elements as needed.
The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within
