Honestly, Tim, if you're not going to answer my questions, then I
don't see why I should continue to spend so very much time and energy
answering yours. Like Bill, I'm now officially frustrated.

That's not the relevant question. The relevant questions, IMHO, are: Does anybody actually want to do that, and if so, do we think their reasons are good enough to justify imposing on all GMPI developers the burden that supporting that would incur?
Let's get this in the open: What burden? Before you read on, please write your answer. I really honestly don't see how they are not isomorphic. below you will find my view of the development burden.
The development burden:
Support 1 profile (vast majority of plugs): * hardcode the profile ID * assume the datatype * code 1 code path
Support N profiles: * offer a list of profile IDs * code N code-paths for different datatypes
vs
Support 1 datatype (vast majority of plugs): * hardcode the datatype ID * assume the datatype * code 1 code path
Support N datatypes: * establish N single-type builds * code N code-paths for different datatypes
