Some of our commercial vendors only check for valid authentications  
from our entityID.  These are places that really should be checking  
for affiliation or entitlements, but assume that anyone who can  
authentication is ok.

There's concern that we would be in breach of contract with such  
providers if we let our guests access those resources, hence my desire  
to limit guest account assertions to local SPs.
