No. That's a starting point to work from. You must create a different
plugin in your own extension library, assign it an xsi:type as part of
defining a schema for it, and then implement it. The actual implementation
is essentially an extension of the original.

The plugins subdirectory contains an extension library included with the
SP and is an example of the boilerplate involved.

It's an AttributeDecoder.

Then an Apache module will be much more practical for you to build.
