it's for V4, and no, I don't have the default attributes all defined yet, but it's mostly what's in the "full" resolver example file in V3 plus perhaps some others.

We have never included default name/description text even in English, so I don't really have anything to use right now.

If they have English too, I can pretty much promise that's what I'll do.

The test files right now are in [1] but I'll probably be revising how things look, it's still early.

I don't think we're going to stop allowing the resolver to be used to configure all this, there are plenty of cases where that's easier. The reason for all this new code is proxying, it allows us to pass data in bulk through the resolver with no attribute definitions required so there have to be other ways of providing the SAML mappings and other attribute metadata.
