At this point I have to admit that my interest come from fact that this broke our automatic central discovery we are running here. We had complain from some SP admin that we are offering IdP which are not in eduGAIN metadata stream.

can you clarify this? It looks like you're saying that your eduID.cz Central Discovery is publishing IdPs that you get from neither eduID.cz nor eduGAIN?

I'm guessing that you mean: "an SP admin wondered how an IdP from OUTSIDE of eduID.cz appeared on the central discovery service". But clearly if this was UKf IdP that arrived their via eduGAIN metadata - that it had chosen to "opt-in" and was receiving eduGAIN metadata.

I guess you're also going to have instances where SPs can't reach their IdP audience because you only have 1 central DS rather than the dual-model described by Peter for ACOnet.
