It does affect the documentation. At the moment, the following
statements in the documentation are incorrect:

In MetadataConfiguration:

"The Common Attributes are available on all metadata provider types"

"The following child elements may be used with all metadata provider types"

In ChainingMetadataProvider:

"Any of the common attributes may be specified"

"Any of the common child elements can be specified"

I can fix these documentation errors but it points to a fundamental
problem with the ChainingMetadataProvider, that is, it is not a
metadata provider at all!
