I don't think it should be repeated in each profile.  So I vote for a 
separate document, or in the core document.

I agree that a "protocol profile" should say what properties it expects 
from an underlying binding.

I don't think this will be necessary for all profiles, though.  For 
example, a concrete profile that references a protocol profile and binding 
doesn't need to reiterate the properties of the binding.
