FWIW, I finally opted for this model. However, SAML2Meta states that  
"Extension elements MUST be namespace-qualified by a non-SAML-defined  
namespace". How should I resolve this, given that the namespace for  
the discovery hint will be a SAML-defined namespace? Is it ok to make  
this element a child of <RoleDescriptor>?
