Subject: [PATCH] This PR is needed for returning attributes like ````         
  <saml:Attribute Name="dateOfBirth">             <saml:AttributeValue
 xsi:type="xs:date">2015-12-06</saml:AttributeValue>          
 </saml:Attribute>  ````

Otherwise I get an ValueError Exception like
````
Type and value do not match: date:<class 'str'>:2015-12-06
````
because `type(value) is not valid_type == True`

I didn't write any unit test, just tested in my context.

I also think that the following code https://github.com/IdentityPython/pysaml2/pull/602/files#diff-6c156669cad61eda35e679329251dce9R197 could be also improved according to https://github.com/IdentityPython/pysaml2/pull/518 if you agree.
