Well, I see were you are heading to ;-) The intention of the proposal was not 
to increase the complexity of the base document. But given your example, having 
a base document that is agnostic to the enrollment and enhancement documents 
that map an enrollment protocol would probably be ideal regarding complexity. 
From your  statement below, I conclude that the process of document creation 
and scoping can be cumbersome.  But‚ I‘m certainly not in the position to argue 
about document structure as I’m stepping in late.

This supports my impression of the base document and additional enhancement 
documents.

Step 5 in section 2.1 in BRSKI mentions EST as example for an enrollment 
protocol. Based on that I assumed other enrollment protocols would in general 
applicable as well.

You made it clear that finishing the base spec has the highest priority.

Yes, I‘m sure there are several approaches for offline enrollment. The reason 
for proposing a profile of CMP basically stems on its success in existing 
deployments for online and offline use cases in a single solution.
