I think they're all relevant because they clearly establish the intent of
the profile in regards to that attribute. Not to mention that it explicitly
*says* what the values are for both versions of SAML at the top of the
profile before it even discusses the roles.

There are any number of guidelines to follow for SAML 1.x in the profile,
and all of them are referenced in aggregate by the extension document
several times. I don't see why we should repeat the entire profile again.

If someone can come up with a single possible interpretation for that
attribute's content that is other than the intended one, I'm all ears.
