    Thanks, that's what I was missing. The same issues come up when tunnelling
    an application through SOAP, which also can't easily represent multiple
    status values for different actions. And the solution (tunnelling) is
    suboptimal in both cases, but probably unavoidable.

    The SAML Status must be the URI for Success if an assertion is successfully
    returned, although a subcode could be created in your profile that reflects
    more precisely what's in the assertion.
