That's a very interesting question; are we expecting/requiring profiles to
be supported generically? Or it it reasonable to expect that if a WSS
implementation supports a profile FOO it has some knowledge of the
syntax and/or semantics of FOO? You could make the case either way.
I don't recall consensus on way or the other.
