That should work ok.  Just be aware that: The metadata resolvers in v3
are by design EntityDescriptor-oriented.  We don't *currently* do
anything in the batch metadata resolvers to tear down the original
hierarchical structure.  So getParent() should still return the original
document's EntitiesDescriptor, etc.   And we don't have any plans right
now to muck with that.  But it's possible we might in the future.

And of course there won't be any parent on individual EntityDescriptors
resolved using MDQ or other dynamic approaches.  That's actually an
example of where we might come up with alternative ways to define entity
groups, and those might then get represented in the same consistent on
EntityDescriptor object metadata.
