Yes, that is needed, but that won't fix the basic problem. The
ChainingMetadataProvider type is not like the other metadata providers
yet it inherits from the same abstract base type
(MetadataProviderType). It really is its own animal.

Because of this anomaly, the docs are forced to tell "little white
lies" such as: "The Common Attributes are available on all metadata
provider types" or "The following child elements may be used with all
metadata provider types."
