Slight correction and update: I was suggesting EntityAttributes extensions 
(the thing referred to by most as "tagging"), but specifically thinking that 
a way to transition both the metadata and people's policies might be to 
attach a single tag at the root EntitiesDescriptor level now.

The SP can do policy based on EntityAttributes using tags at the higher level.

It turns out the IdP, sigh, did not do it that way, so that suggestion is 
fairly pointless and we're probably back to tagging every entity.
