Unless you're planning to, say, follow up with some kind of automated 
process working across all of the profile documents in such a way that it 
would make technical sense for the different sections to be standardized, 
I personally don't see any need at all for profile document 
standardization.  As far as I can tell, these documents are meant for 
humans, rather than computers, to read.  And in the absence of a strong 
technical rationale to limit how maintainers express themselves here, I 
don't think it's justified.
