The latter. It ends up surfaced as a resolved attribute, but as a dependency within the resolver during resolution, it's a data connector attribute only until the end. Of course it's about the same syntactically, just converting one element to another.

It does not. There's a final pass at the end that collects up exported data connector attrbutes as resolved IdPAttribute objects.

Rod will correct me if I'm wrong, but I beleve that's how it works.
