Yes, those don't require any input from the attribute resolver. Though now
that I say that, I'm wrong about the persistent case. One could build a
database version of persistent ID that didn't require the resolver, but we
didn't do it that way. So it's strictly transient, which is the default
and common, but we can't assume it.
