Well, if an SP requires ePTId OR ePPN to work (a rather common
scenario) there is currently no way to express that in the existing
metadata schema.
I though that the proposed way to handle this was to list both and set
isRequired="false" and document/communicate the either/or OOB.

I'd also appreciate some more context, why documenting attribute
requirements in metadata is suddenly something not recommend/BCP, why
the Shibboleth software should not do something useful with that info,
etc.pp.

Thanks,
