Would there be any merit to having a limited number of low-resource profiles which would set several parameters? The chief virtue seems that they might be specified in fewer bits. I can't see this as a mechanism that scales up indefinitely unless the profiles could be monotonically ordered, and the parameters given by some sort of power or exponential function (this could be hard to tune). So this idea is mainly an escape hatch for low-end clients or servers.
