I prefer to have them in the same file, but I'm OK with splitting the
encoder definitions out from inside the attribute definitions.  If it
were done the way you propose (and the attribute-encoder.xml is read by
adding a ConfigurationResource to the existing AttributeResolver Service
in services.xml), then Etan and I could have our cake and eat it too by
removing that ConfigurationResource and just including the elements in
the resolver file.

No problem with this.
