After some playing around with the new snapshot, I have discovered that all mobs can be put on teams like so:
/summon Shulker ~ ~1 ~ {Team:<Name of your team>}
But only Shulkers actually attack mobs and players on other teams or without a team, yet they are friendly to mobs and players on their own team. If other mobs are put on a team they have no change in behavior. (The only difference I could find was that if you put a color on their team then they will glow that color when hit by a spectral arrow).
My suggestion is that all mobs have this type of behavior when on teams. Then you could have skeletons vs slimes, or blazes vs witches. The possibilities would be endless!
Just need to point out that adding mobs to scoreboard teams (albeit with the /scoreboard command) is not a new feature, as it was added during the 1.8 snapshots. When added to a team, mobs will not become hostile towards teammates.
The "Team" tag is new to 1.9 though, which cuts time from adding mobs to teams.
The Shulker is the special case in that it will attack non-teammates, unlike all other mbos. I'm sure that bodes well for expanding that feature to other mobs.
Oh man I have wanted this for so long! I love the idea of being able to make shulkers fight other teams but if all hostile mobs did that then that would just be awesome! I would make custom zombies with armour and player heads and then put them on a team to fight normal zombies! Full Support!

/scoreboard teams add <Enter the name of your team here>
Once you've created a team you can use /scoreboard teams join <Name of your team> <Name of a player> to add a player to your team, or you can use @e to add mobs to teams.

Hope this helps!
This would add a ton of possibilities for different types of gamemodes, not to mention unique adventure maps, where previously-hostile mobs are fighting WITH you, rather than against you.

Think about it a necromancer
when you hold a stick it executes a command to summon a friendly zombie
That's a really good and cool idea!
This should be useful in a variety of ways.

How do you make a team? Sorry, noob question...
/scoreboard teams add <Enter the name of your team here>
Once you've created a team you can use /scoreboard teams join <Name of your team> <Name of a player> to add a player to your team, or you can use @e to add mobs to teams.

Mojang tryed to do that but they said it just didn't want to work:(
