Same code we use now, we can't deprecate it in the resolver since it's going to be needed. I was sort of hoping we'd dump pairwise as a concept, but that didn't happen.

Not. That's for NameIDs only, which will always be the dominant approach with vendors.

Yep. It was a mistake to start with to ever abandon that but it didn't match the standard, which turned out to be a good thing and not a bad thing.
