Well, you may have rationally followed the completely incorrect example in the documentation, which is fixed (I made a rare change to the V3 docs as well).

You're just creating more XML to maintain and more work for the system defining an AttributeDefinition if there's a data connector result that already has the values and format you need. That's always been true in this kind of case, it's just more true now because you can export resolved attributes out of data connectors and don't need AttributeEncoders anymore.
