If you forced me to choose between static attribute references in
metadata and dynamic per-request attribute callouts, I'd choose the
latter since it addresses attribute self-query (and perhaps other use
cases where the attribute requirements are not static).
Anyway, thanks for suggesting the AuthnRequest + Attribute extension.
That's a good idea.
