I think that is do-able if we first identify the core markup used by
all of the major players ("core profile"). Then the app-specific
profiles can be individually defined as core profile plus
[app-specific]. But there might be intermediate profiles for markup
shared by multiple but not all apps, in which case the layers for a
given app might run:
-- core profile
-- intermediate profile
-- app-specific profile
Profile specifications can likewise be layered.
