I suspect there is some confusion between:

         a technical characteristic -- ability to map the application 
protocol to run over multiple transports, versus

         an operational profile -- specification of a complete set of 
features to be used for basic interoperability, including transport and 
security mechanisms.

The former is good for extensibility.  The latter is essential for initial use.
