In fact there is already a profile for Suite B in the draft (from RFC6637).
The German spooks want their Brainpool instead. Me and many others would
prefer Chicago curves.
The idea isn't necessarily to come up with new or alternative algorithms but
to codify current practice, where it makes sense. So if 99% of the
implementations out there do, say, AES + x + y, then make the profile "AES + x
+ y", so that implementing just that one option is all that's required to give
you 99% coverage.
And an OpenPGP profile.

Ugh, the X.509 folks already did that badly enough :-).
