Title:
  Mahara throws 'Badly formated SAML' error even though the metadata is
  valid

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It would be good to investigate what SAML metadata we allow. Recently,
  when we updated an IdP, the error for 'badly formatted SAML' was
  thrown even though the IdP metadata was valid.

  The old metadata that worked. Displayed is only the pertinent part
  that needed to be retained to work:

  ---
  <EntityDescriptor   
    xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#";
    xmlns:shibmd="urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0"
    xmlns:mdrpi="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:metadata:rpi"
    xmlns:mdui="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:metadata:ui"
    xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata saml-schema-metadata-2.0.xsd urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0 shibboleth-metadata-1.0.xsd http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig# xmldsig-core-schema.xsd"
    entityID="https://URLDISGUISDED";>
  <Extensions>
  ---

  The equivalent of the new metadata that wouldn't work:

  ---
  <EntityDescriptor entityID="https://URLDISGUISDED";>
  <Extensions>
  ---

  The new metadat doesn't contain any of the xmlns values and the xsi
  value.
