attrname-format in SAML response with non-standard attributes

I'd say about as much as the SP cares about the nameFormat, which given the selected names, is probably zero.  I would send them with either:

> urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:basic

or

> urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified

and certainly wouldn't send

> urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri

if you can possibly avoid it.
