multilanguage attribute value

[Chad La Joie]

The "proper" way would probably be to tag the <AttributeValue> with an
'xml:lang; attribute but the IdP doesn't expose any way to do that
nor, I suspect, does the SP know how to handle it.

For now you probably will have to create a new attribute.  I'd also
recommend you file an RFE with both IdPv3 and the SP with the
suggestion that there be a way to carry the language for an attribute
value (if it's known).
