In concrete terms, it seems pretty clear how to describe a HWP: each dimension in a HWP is either a scalar range, with a unit, min and max bounds and an optional default value, or an enumeration of opaque strings, so that a HWP is a dictionary that maps the name of the dimension to a scalar range or an enumeration.
I think there is a case where you don't have either a range or enumeration of opaque strings, but you might have an enumeration of numeric/meaningful values, which a portal/client can use to decide what to use (eg how ec2 works now, effectively). I wouldn't want it to be either extreme only.
