My bad, DFN-AAI in fact does provide the needed into, and as suspected
it's only eduPersonEntitlement (assuming the common-lib-terms value)
and/or eduPersonScopedAffiliation (I'm guessing only as fall-back or
to allow institutions to chose the attribute in a self-service web UI,
or some such).

So at least for that SP pushing non-PII attribute values over the
browser unencrypted seems totally acceptable.
