Metadata is the data that drives SAML profile and binding interoperability
and efficiency. If a particular "role" is not identified in those documents,
then it doesn't need metadata as such. IMHO anyway.

But as new roles are identified as needing metadata, a provider's metadata
can be extended to include its metadata for those roles.
