I think the duplication ends up somewhere either way, though it might be 
better to push it down farther. My inclination is that we consider 
including both interfaces in the context tree by emulating SAML metadata 
where necessary so that existing code based on it will continue to 
function more or less as it does now.

We need a metadata profile for OIDC regardless.
