I would editorially tweak as follows (since it would be pretty unusual
for there to be real saml:SubjectStatement elements present):
Every subject-containing statement present in the assertion(s) returned

element. The <ConfirmationMethod> element in the <SubjectConfirmation>
MUST be set to urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:cm:bearer.
