Release different value for affiliation based on service provider

[john spence]

The above suggestions should help me greatly.

We current release "member" as the affiliation to all service providers for
our staff and student users that have a suitable status in our back-end db
table which is an allowed configuration within the UKFederation we belong
to.
Some service providers would like us to release a more specific value but
we don't want to break our working configuration for existing service
provider mid academic year by suddenly releasing difference affiliations to
them even if it should just work.

Its interesting to see how people are manipulating attribute data to meet
the weird and wonderful situations we ourselves in sometimes.
