In my understanding of SAML V2 these two use cases can, from a technical perspective, be accommodated.  Whether products exist that implement these protocols is another question.

The first is handled by AuthzDecisionQuery which is designed to answer, "should actions on this resource be allowed for this subject, given this evidence?".  The second is handled by AttributeQuery which is designed to return the requested attributes for a specific subject.

The AuthzDecisionQuery query includes Evidence parameters which are the means of the SP passing attributes to the IdP for verification..

The problem is that in most of not all open protocols the SP has no way to pass the attributes to the IdP for verification.

SAML, IMI, u-prove, openID 2.0 are premised on asking for claims in a very simple key value way.

In openID ABC we are looking at being able to pass parameters for claims to the IdP so that you could do something like:

Age > 19
Street = "123 4th ST"

Until something like that catches on the Trust Framework may have to be the indicator that the RP/SP already has some attributes.

	As requested, I suggested that the use cases should include 2 different types of interaction with the CSP; one where the RP provides the attributes and asks for verification of identity, the other where the RP is asking for attributes about an identity that it does not already have.
