We're trying to work out a way to associate data that's expensive to
produce from the underlying metadata objects with the objects themselves
because the way the metadata has typically been exposed has been through
returning the actual EntityDescriptor XMLObject, for better or worse.

The main use case is caching the credentials derived from the KeyInfo
elements in the entity's role's KeyDescriptors.

Rather than specially deal with this, the idea is to generalize the
ability to associate Java objects with XMLObjects.
