In earlier revisions of XEP-0167 we indeed had a 'profile' attribute.
Consider the following text from version 0.22, which is archived at
<http://xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0167-0.22.html> ...

***

The <description/> element SHOULD possess a 'profile' attribute that
specifies the profile of RTP in use as would be encapsulated in SDP
(e.g., "RTP/AVP" or "UDP/TLS/RTP/SAVP"). If not included, the default
value of "RTP/AVP" MUST be assumed.

***

The 'profile' attribute was removed in version 0.23 (2008-07-31) as part
of the simplifications resulting from XMPP Summit #5:

http://xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0167-0.23.html

One of the Jingle-related topics for that Summit was "getting rid of
weird SIP hang-overs in jingle like profiles". Perhaps Robert McQueen
can elaborate.

I have no deep objections to bring 'profile' back if we need it, and
defaulting it to "RTP/AVP" as we did in the past.
