"parts that have a constant cross section as in Figure 11-6, parts that have a surface of revolution"
Neither of those cases applies to the OP problem.
I agree. As I said, they are just examples. The question is - why do you keep bringing them up when they are clearly irrelevant? Again - these two and all over are not the only allowed cases - that's why it says "any shape".

Unless you have 2D constant cross sections or have a surface of revolution you cannot use profile of surface the way you want.
There is no support for that. The lack of an example in the profile section doesn't prove this.

Missing from that list is removing the 2D limitation except for ALL OVER.
Appendixes aside, as a fact, ever since the 2009 version, the body of the standard no longer defines profile as
"the outline of an object in a given plane (two-dimensional figure)" (Y14.5M-1994, 6.5). And the body of the text has "a tiny bit" more weight than the changes' appendix.
I can correct and complete the figure you dislike from the datums section, without conflict with any current Y14.5 definition or rule:
Profile definition (3.49):
"...a shape made up of one or more features..."
- check.
True Profile (3.68):
"the profile defined by basic radii, basic angular dimensions, basic coordinate dimensions, basic dimension of size..."
-check.
Profile (11.2):
" A digital data
file or an appropriate view on a drawing shall define the true profile. "
- check:
An appropriate view was provided. Additional views for fully dimensioning the true profile are not forbidden. A digital data file is not a necessity.
Profile of a Surface (11.2.1.1):
"Profile of a surface may be applied to parts of any shape" - no problem.
As I already mentioned, this example is a simplification of the OP's problem that has the same "issue" which he was concerned about - a peripheral surface surrounding the part which is not normal to the plane of the view projection or any other plane. Nothing to be worried about. Solvable with the all around symbol, and some additional views for full dimensioning and a lot of effort if a model is not provided (unlikely).
