Good thinking.  That is a useful.

Looks like the breakdown:

  Local/Remote
  Inband/OoB

We're rethinking the management requirements.  What's probably going
to happen is a reorganization/simplification of the individual
requirements relating to management.  The appropriate requirements
will be collected under each profile (e.g. edge might include OoB
reqs, SOHO/wireless might not).  Also, current thinking is
each profile will list its operating/managment environment
assumptions.
