The counter-counter is that if you don't already, you have bigger
problems than this. I assumed that was a given (see the POST browser
profile, for example).

My feeling is either require the transport layer to prevent replay, or
do it in SAML, but don't open the door to replay attacks by ignoring it.

These would be subcodes underneath Sender (or Requester), in my
proposal's parlance.
