Is the plan to have a separate document for each profile?  I'm assuming 
that we are all waiting for the draft-oath-v2 to stabilize (ps. it's 
gone from version 05 to 08 in a matter of 2-3 weeks, and now going to 
09). We need to lock-down, I think. Need to distinguish between 
major/significant changes to minor/typo fixes.

It depends on what meaning of "profile" and "extension". If the optional 
parameter is used in one of the profiles (use-cases) only, then it 
should not be place into the core draft-oauth-v2. If the optional 
parameter ends-up being used in all the profiles (use-cases), then add 
it to the core. I think this is where you draw the line (otherwise all 
sorts of weird and wonderful parameters ends-up in the core draft).
