That looks good to me. And yes, I did mean "in the base specification"
(i.e., spec for Xblah is the base document and defines a few profiles,
plus sets rules for other groups to define other profiles.)

BTW, the "groups" in "groups may define new profiles in the future"
means groups of people, consortia like OASIS.
