What is a "default profile" beyond an implementation detail, anyway?
Even if you shove both into one profile, if someone really wants to, they'll still make a 8-bit only decoder. So lets at least have the clarity we need and call them different.

Good point. 8-bit SDR content should be encoded at 8-bit. It's more about setting the standard that 10-bit should always be decodable.
