/**
 * The Subject element specifies one or more subjects. It contains either or
both of the following elements:NameIdentifier;
An identification of a subject by its name and security domain.
SubjectConfirmation;
Information that allows the subject to be authenticated.

If a Subject element contains more than one subject specification,
the issuer is asserting that the surrounding statement is true for
all of the subjects specified. For example, if both a
NameIdentifier and a SubjectConfirmation element are
present, the issuer is asserting that the statement is true of both subjects
being identified. A  element SHOULD NOT identify more than one
principal.
 *
 * The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within 
 * SAML Subject element.
