The reason I think it's ok to put things like cn and mail under the eduperson arc is because the eduPerson spec points to the relevant defining rfcs or to x.520 if there's no rfc, for each of these person, orgPerson and inetOrgPerson attributes. The eduPerson spec even adds some notes on usage that amount to profiling their use in higher ed within the bounds of the x.520/rfc definitions.

On my reading of Scott and RL"Bob," I would guess Scott at
least would opt for

urn:mace:dir:eduperson#cn
urn:mace:dir:eduperson#mail
urn:mace:dir:eduperson#eduPersonScopedAffiliation

I don't feel strongly about the first two. I'm not familiar enough with the relevant specs to know what the right "arc" within
mace:dir should be for attributes defined externally, but I didn't see any reason why what we proposed for eduPerson attributes
would be inconsistent with anything.
