Not at present, due to the complexity of the syntax. I haven't looked at a
native version's possibilities, vs. the relying party case, which we
deliberately investigated.

Only if we formally propose that, which isn't on the table. Whereas we are
saying that for relying-party.xml, the legacy version is deprecated there.

Not sure I follow, can you restate?

Essentially anything you can configure with some kind of custom syntax can
be done with native Spring if you know what you're doing, but we're trying
to be deliberate in what we propose people use in each area. Some of the
legacy schemas are ignored or explicitly deprecated and some are being
kept for the time being.

I tried to note the specific plans for each case in the alpha docs.
