Point the MessagePack key note to the spec's profile section

The note linked to "Serialization: type to format conversion", which says nothing about key types. Restricting map keys to strings is only mentioned in the "Profile" section (under "Future discussion") as an example of a JSON-compatible profile, so link there and describe it as such instead of as a permission.
