We did just that - openid4java supports Attribute Exchange (i.e the "transport" layer for attributes), but nothing about the metadata. Even if the metadata spec were all figured out, my implementation would probably hand over the type URI and the attribute value to the layer above for consuming it, which would involve looking up the metadata info if necessary. Josh just started implementing AX [1] and his thoughts were along the same lines.
