[Handle-globus] SAML attribute mapping: case#2: nested attribute

Given that SAML <attribute-name, attribute-value> to be mapped into <handle-value-type, handle-value-data>, how will nested SAML attributes be mapped into handle-<type, data-value> pair?

For example,

<samlp:AttributeQuery>
   <saml:Subject>
         <saml:NameIdentifier...>
             XYZ
          </saml:NameIdentifier...>
     </saml:Subject>
 </saml:NameIdentifier>

The SAML attribute

         <saml:NameIdentifier...>
             XYZ
          </saml:NameIdentifier...>

may be mapped to a handle value whose type is "saml:NameIdentifier" and whose data-value is "XYZ".


But what about the parent attribute

<saml:Subject>

         ....
   </saml:Subject>


Does it have any role in the attribute to handle value mapping?
