Explicitly enable colocated AMs/hosts?

[xmlgrrl]

In a deployment scenario where the AM and (singular) host are tightly coupled and there's no possibility of the AM needing to connect with outside hosts, does it make sense to build in optionality around the host/AM communication? Do we want these to count as "UMA-conforming", or just "UMA-like" if incomplete?

[xmlgrrl]

Note that if we separate out "phase 1" (introduction) into its own generic module, we could pull this module into UMA by reference, potentially giving it an optional conformance switch. That would accomplish the goal above.

[xmlgrrl]

There's now a generic module for this, but currently it's pulled into UMA core on a required basis.

This is now handled by the "API extensibility profiles".
