Suggested earlier, the idea is to start with baby steps. Produce a
spec which though unlikely
ever to be implemented, forms a baseline for development. This is the
core profile.

Next to build on that (and our experience of having fully tested the
core profile) to generate
a more complex syntax and semantic, covering (hopefully) 80% of
implementations. This is likely
to be the most widely adopted and should satisfy most implementers and users.

The final step (might be, ill defined) is the manner in which
extensions are added to
let implementers have their freedom to match their users needs.
