Just perusing the latest eduPerson schema and I was wondering where  
"urn:mace:dir:attribute-def" came from. Shibb seems to use this  
prefix, or is that just a relic of some previous scenario? The  
eduPerson spec now says that all eduPerson attributes should be  
prefixed with "eduPerson."

Of course, eduPerson is mostly made up of non eduPerson attributes  
from other schemata. Do the members of the list have best practice  
suggestions for interop when using these attributes?

Should one use urn:mace:dir:attribute-def or eduPerson. ?

thanks,

Alistair
