Yes.

Yes and no.  We do not produce messages with the profile specific TLV
attached.  So, as a client, we can support this profile.  It is simply
a matter of changing a few options in default.cfg.

Also, IIRC, the latest add on to IEC 61850 specifies something like
the Power Profile, but without the TLVs.  So we support that, too.

No.

Again, as a client, we can support this.  As a Grand Master or
Boundary Clock, we don't support the profile specific "notSlave" or
"localPriority" options.  Even without "notSlave", I expect that a
normal GM would work fine in this profile.

I might be able to offer ITU-T G.8275.1 later on this year, but I
can't promise it.

We don't support unicast, and it would be lots of work to add it.
