You probably should read this [1] if you don't know the backstory of ePTID. It is written from an SP perspective and covers a somewhat separate set of issues, but it discussed the interplay involved here. The thing you're asking about is the thing in the section labeled "SAML 2.0 Attribute" and the thing I'm talking about is before it in the section called "SAML 2.0 NameID".

I don't believe that you need to support eduPersonTargetedID in attribute form to support R&S, using a persistent NameID should be fine. I also suspect that isn't clear from R&S itself.
