If not, I'd suggest it. Keeping things in -impl was a time-saver to avoid having to commit but I would like to see us commit at some point.

I don't know that I've ever consciously intended to do this, but I
don't necessarily object.  But gets into the whole OpenSAML api vs.
impl question.

I was wondering that as well.  If the schema is just something like a
table with 2-ish columns like, entityID and XML document as blob,
that's one type of impl, probably pretty easy.  But if the individual
entity data elements are normalized out to many tables, that impl would
be quite different.
