The metadata specification is ambiguous about the meaning of omission of the <NameIDFormat> element and many other elements such as <AttributeProfile>, <KeyDescriptor>, and generally anything that's optional.
Initial proposal (see below) was found to be underspecified and untestable, so remains open, pending a new proposal.
