edupersonprincipalname question

[Wigfall, Robert]

Hello - 

We are considering changing our edupersonprincaplename attribute. We have migrated to a new IDP and seek to correct any attributes per the eduperson standards and specs on wiki.refeds.org.

The proposed change would result in the eppn being the users actual email. I realize the definition indicates eppn is not intended to be a person’s published email address, or to be used as an email address. I am just curious if any are using email address as eppn and if there are any repercussions of which we need to be aware?

Thanks for any input.
