As far as I can tell, our problem is not so much priority of affiliation as 
presenting
the info in a way that applications can use for making access-control 
decisions. 
Lots of policies are local. Contrived example: Campus A may want to give 
wireless access to students and faculty of campus B, but only to 
faculty of campus C. Not all these problems are directory problems of
course, but the directory problem, I guess,  is to try to anticipate the
needs and limitations of the applications that are going to be using it.
