The `Secret` type (`.type` verses `.data.type`) **MUST** reflect this value as `service.binding/{type}`, replacing `{type}` with the `Secret` data type.  It is **RECOMMENDED** that the `Secret` data also contain a `provider` entry with a value that identifies the provider of the binding.  The `Secret` data **MAY** contain any other entry.
