Sometimes, the SAML server may not have an attribute value for a
particular user:
<saml:Attribute Name="missing" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:basic">
<saml:AttributeValue xsi:type="xs:string" />
</saml:Attribute>
This adds an additional assertion, documenting the existing behavior.

This changes the value returned in this case from `[]` to `null`.

This signature needs to be updated.

@tngan I'm not sure how the signature is meant to be updated. I do see the script in test/README.md, but it's not clear if that's the one to use or how to configure it.
Are there any instructions for signature generation anywhere?

Sometimes a SAML server may not have a value for a particular attribute-user combination, in which case it may return an empty tag:
In this case, the current implementation would return
[]as the value.This changes the return value to
nullinstead, which is what one would expect for a missing value.
