So just to make sure I understand what the options are, Shib 1.3
supports a traditional apache-tomcat configuration (except that
authentication and path validation are now split between the two) but
signed attribute queries are not supported and there are no plans to
add this feature.  Correct?

Actually it will push people away from a standalone tomcat deployment,
towards the traditional apache-tomcat setup.
