> ObjectTypeValidator is incorrectly implementing AllowedValuesValidator and should not implement it at all.
> The values returned from an AllowedValuesValidator are meant to be an enumeration of the *complete* legal values for the attribute. ObjectTypeValidator is simply returning the legal keys for the fields in the object, which are not complete legal values.
> The result of this is any attribute that uses this validator (which all complex objects probably do) will report bogus and unnecessary data in the read-resource-description "allowed-values" metadata. Unnecessary because the description of the attribute already includes full details of the fields via the "value-type" metadata.
> I'm classifying this as minor because the bogus metadata likely does no harm.
