Perhaps not generally, but I'd say that a profile should indicate if it extends (=reuses the basic structure and constraints of) another AP. We could even go as far as saying that the extending profile only lists constraints that were added or modified and that for all other purposes we should refer to the profile it extends (similar to a class in OO programming that extends another class and only specifies what it has added while everything else is inherited from the superclass).

Best,

Lars
