Oh wait, you didn't ask about one-off attribute names in metadata (for
which a differing encoder would be relevant) but you wanted to use a
different InputAttributeDefinition for a given standard attribute
depending on the SP entity?

I don't think I ever had to handle that case and certainly "metadata
ftw!" wouldn't have been my initial reaction.
