I am seeing some significant differences between the two files, for example:

  <md:EntityDescriptor entityID="https://ekrksso.keeleressursid.ee/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/ekrk-sp">

    <md:Extensions>

      <mdrpi:RegistrationInfo registrationAuthority="https://www.aai.dfn.de" registrationInstant="2015-05-15T09:54:53Z">

        <mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="en">https://www.aai.dfn.de/en/join/</mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy>

        <mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="de">https://www.aai.dfn.de/teilnahme/</mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy>

      </mdrpi:RegistrationInfo>

versus

  <md:EntityDescriptor entityID="https://ekrksso.keeleressursid.ee/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/ekrk-sp">

    <md:Extensions>

      <mdrpi:RegistrationInfo registrationInstant="2014-12-06T23:47:48Z" registrationAuthority="http://taat.edu.ee">

        <mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="en">http://taat.edu.ee/main/documents/?lang=en</mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy>

      </mdrpi:RegistrationInfo>

or

  <md:EntityDescriptor entityID="https://login.iceruganda.org/idp/shibboleth">

    <md:Extensions>

      <mdrpi:RegistrationInfo registrationAuthority="https://incommon.org"/>

versus

  <md:EntityDescriptor entityID="https://login.iceruganda.org/idp/shibboleth">

    <md:Extensions>

      <mdrpi:RegistrationInfo registrationAuthority="https://www.renu.ac.ug" registrationInstant="2017-10-02T08:10:00Z">

        <mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy xml:lang="en">https://rif.renu.ac.ug/docs/rifp.pdf</mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy>

      </mdrpi:RegistrationInfo>

With substantial semantic differences like this, it's impossible to evaluate the changes in _expression_.

I hope these changes are unintended.
