I say let the profiles decide.  A re-specified Core Schema is just another 
way of presenting the profile, and I don't think we should dictate 
presentation (as long as it's comprehensible).

We can recommend things (like using the template, or including examples, 
which is definitely a good idea).  But I wouldn't want to recommend one way 
or another on this.
