I will believe that a collector will explicitly assert that attributes it collects are about specific target endpoint(s).  An external collector may assert attribute values for more than one target endpoint.  The subtle refinement is not something that I understand.   I think that if you really are doing something different that what a normal person thinks of as collection (i.e. gathering together) then you need to make some huge warnings about this and give some good examples.  I can understand guidance in the sense of what to collect, although I really expect it to try and collect everything that it can, but not in terms of doing the pre-processing that is being discussed.  That looks much more like some type of other function.
