Some people using the EDS with a couple of institutions asked whether it could be configured to start with the dropdown list, instead of starting with the ajax-ish input field and requiring an additonal click to change to dropdown (and then another to open the dropdown, of course).
Actually, given that they only support a handful of IdPs they'd probably be served better by having the complete list of IdPs shown right away (as in <ul><li>IdP A</li><li>IdP B</li></ul> or something, pardon my oldschool HTML). Of course for such simple cases you could always hand-craft the session initiator links and forgo using the EDS completely. But you'd lose some of the more "dynamic" features like updated display names or the IdP getting blacklisted in the SP (or getting removed from federation metadata).
I'd imagine the first being a rather simple new config option, the latter a wishlist item that could make the EDS more useful in specific cases, at the cost of not only doing what is considered Best Current Practice in IdP discovery (it would still do that by default, though). Happy to discuss on dev, if preferred.
