A couple of comments. Firstly, perhaps we could create a fictional website
for our examples?

Secondly, I don't think that the docs explain clearly enough exactly what
IdP initiated login is and why it is important. Also, its not clear what
happens if someone uses this with a relayURL that is nothing to do with the
existing callback URL. Does the relayURL mean that I no longer need to
specify a callback URL? Is this a potential security issue (someone
spoofing a website but still using WSO2 IdP?)

Finally, it isn't clear in this documentation what the requirements on the
Relying Party are when you use IdP initiated login.
