Well that's the point, I guess. Currently, there doesn't seem to be
any way for an endpoint to call out support for one of the X.509
profiles and NOT support the Assertion Query/Request Profile. In that
sense, EVERY attribute query profile should extend the Assertion
Query/Request Profile.

Yes of course, but your example exhibits the same problem, I think.
