We used to have such a mechanism (called Profiles) but we dropped it
because it didn't sit well with the space of things offered by
WS-Agreement and was rather too complex for us to want to describe
properly at the time. Such mechanisms are therefore outside the scope of
jsdl 1.0 (i.e. properly done through extensibility.)
