Hi Johann,

In IS 5.0
filter=username eq name
gave the result that you are expecting here, but we changed it to return
only meta data since retrieving all attributes is costly. Spec also
mentions that query should minimally return meta data, returning additional
data or all data is also compliant with the spec IIRC.

So in my opinion, what you are suggesting here is moving back to the old
functionality we had and I believe if we are to do that, we will have to do
that at the cost of performance. I suppose this may not as costly as 2
network calls if filter returns only 1 result. But it is not guaranteed in
filter or attribute thing you are suggesting that it will return only 1
result, so still performance can be a issue.

Cheers
Chamila
