Currently, the schema uses the rdfs:comment property like this:

<rdfs:comment>
    Description: Indicates whether the device's display 
      supports color. "Yes" means color is supported. "No" 
      means the display supports only grayscale or black and white. 

    Type: Boolean 

    Resolution: Override 

    Examples: "Yes", "No"
</rdfs:comment> 

Note important information (e.g. Type) is actually embedded in the
contents of the rdfs:comment property (rather than for example being
a separate property).  I presumed an application that did profile validation 
via the schema would need to micro-parse the contents of this property
to determine Type information.
