My understanding of the WICD 'stack' is that whilst the lower levels are intended to be 'general' (and so not necessarily bound to XHTML) the WICD Full draft explicitly says that the document must be at root an XHTML 1.1 document. Given this, then it might as well leverage the XHTML Modularisation 1.1 architecture. We have XML Schema schemas that are compatible with XHTML M12N for XForms and a few other things (SVG and RDFa, for example) so it would be quite straightforward to define WICD Full in this way. (Someone with better SVG knowledge than me would probably want to do something with my SVG schemas though.) Obviously the spec should not say that XML Schema is the only way to validate compound documents, but given that there is an architecture in place at the W3C to do exactly this then it would be good to explain to people how to make use of it to validate WICD Full. A 'profile' would therefore be a combination of the core XHTML M12N driver files, plus schemas for whatever additional languages are included. Anyone producing a language that could be used by CDF would also then have guidelines on how to produce their schemas so that they could be incorporated, so making it a 'framework'.
