We are working with an SP (ArcGIS) who in unable to properly handle 'mail'
as a potentially multivalued attibute. Normally we would offer an
alternate attribute we have defined with id=uhEmail which we guarantee to
to be single-valued and encode with the same OID as the sandard mail
attribute where this is an issue. However, this SP also insists that this
attribute they require be named 'mail'.

Is there a way to remap a defined attribute's name (id) in an attribute
filter policy, or conditionally specify its source attribute in an
attribute definition based on the requesting entityID in the attribute
resolver? How can we release our single-valued uhEmail attribute to this
SP as 'mail' without disrupting our existing definition or release of
'mail' for other SPs already in use? What's the recommended way to handle
this?
