Or do something based on the registration info extension? I haven't a
specific proposal in mind, because I don't know all the use cases people
might come up with, but that's certainly in the general vicinity of my
expectations, yes.

IIRC, Rod did a Shibboleth IdP extension that lets you set policy based
directly on the registration extension, but we don't have that for SPs.
When Chad did that extension, he kind of was working off on his own, and I
had been expecting that anything that was needed for policy would probably
be done with tags, so that spec is an outlier I guess.

That actually seems interesting for SPs at least as much if not more.
