EDS enhancement entity category

[Scott Koranda]

Hello,

On a REFEDs mailing list thread Leif Johansson noted:

Could it fit into the roadmap for the Shibboleth SP and the
EDS to have the SP pass through more information into the JSON
feed, such as the metadata entity categories with which an IdP
is tagged, and then the EDS have the ability to mark in the UI
those IdPs that meet a particular condition, ie. being tagged
with a particular entity category?

The use case I am most interested in would be to have the EDS
visually distinguish between IdPs that are tagged with the
REFEDS R&S entity category and those that are not.

If you think this could fit into the Shibboleth SP and EDS
road map please let me know and I will file a JIRA ticket(s).

Thank you for your consideration.
