My position is still either this, or we build in the infradtructure to
support multiple types.  The more I think on it, the less I think that
multiple type support will actually impact anything much.  I think it is a
relatively simple extension, and will actually buy us something in terms of
marketing and future-proofing.

Both my positions are not mutually exclusive.  As Paul points out, and I ave
said before - there will likely be more to a profile that just the sample
data type.

Let's build it as we see for 'normal' processors, and then derive a
GMPI-Embedded or GMPI-Mobile spec.
