Thanks, Scott.

I did see the example further up on the page. I had somehow missed it. I'm sorry about that. I added an example with that specific attribute further down in the midst of the example for the subject resolution. If you feel it's redundant, feel free to rip it out, or let me know, and I will.

It's already there, with an example. It's possible examples that are default-collapsed don't register with a screen reader, that might be an issue.

It's the same as the SP. It doesn't accept any attributes unless you tell it to.

Yes. About the only use case for SubjectDerivedAttribute now is really just this one use case when there's only one attribute used. Otherwise it's about the same as Simple, no longer of much use.
