"Basic" attribute names are:
1. Not recommended (because there usually is no specification of
   syntax or semantics)
2. Not mapped by default in the Shib SP, but before you do consider:
3. Not legal for eduPerson-defined attributes. The only legal way to
   represent this attribute is specified in the MACE-Dir SAML
   Attribute Profiles. In short for most attributes this means using
   URI name format and urn:oid: attribute names.
