Hmmm, Im not sure if this will be available in 1.5 in WS... can you wait for 
1.5.1 a month or two later?  Maybe use the API in the meantime?

Would the only services you need be:

1. Assign an attribute value to an object (e.g. group)

2. Query groups which have certain attribute values

Well, what I mean is the attribute framework will have a given type for an 
attribute.  The ideal type is a "marker" type, where all values are 
registered in the grouper registry.  So if a user wanted to free form write 
one in, then your UI would have to register that value as acceptable with the 
grouper registry before assigning.  Otherwise, if you wanted to mix and match 
(preset values, and freeform), then maybe you could use two different 
attributes on groups, one free form, and one list of values.
