1) Whilst I do care about names I don't care enough to add entropy.
However, during my mercifully short exposure to it I did learn to hate
Hungarian.
2) I don't think that this helps in disambiguation which feels like the best
reason to do this.  To me (but bear in mind that I know this code pretty
well) the current code makes it pretty clear what is going on.  

So:

resolver.resolverAttributes(context)
List<IdPAttribute> attributes = context.getResolvedIdPAtributes();

Describes what is going on just as well as your example.
 - IdPAttribute is qualified because of [dis]ambiguation issues.  Hence the
getter id qualified.
 - The local 'context' variable is not ambiguous at this point (I am
assuming) so not qualified)
 - Ditto the local 'attribute'.

FWIW
