help xml-ifying a script attribute definition ?

[Tom Zeller]

Maybe an extension to MappedAttributeDefinition could allow a
<ReturnValue/> of the form

 <ReturnRefId>id_of_another_attribute_definition</ReturnRefId>

which means return the value of some other attribute definition.

This would provide switch-statement-ish attribute resolution in xml.

Is there documentation on conditional evaluation of attributes for
IdPv3 somewhere ? I guess I should search the wiki ...
