I was thinking of profiles only specifying:

If profiles are constrained as such, they're pretty trivial to compose; if we allow them to say what *isn't* allowed to be there, it gets much more complex. It also goes against the spirit of extensibility...
I fail to see what constraints in the current version justify different profiles, especially given the inevitable breaks in interop. Can you give us some examples?
