One example of an interoperability workflow might be:

A software vendor that utilizes custom derivation paths in their
schemes create a "profile" that contains the constraints on the paths
(and possibly other parameters, but this is out of scope of the
proposal) for their particular scheme. In a simple case it might just
be a path template string provided in the documentation.

A user of a software solution from that vendor takes a hardware wallet
that supports path templates (or richer "profiles") and installs the
profile for that solution into hardware wallet. In a simple case, the
user just pastes a path template string into some configuration utility
program and then confirms the setting on-device.

The device statrts to enforce the constraints specified in the template
(or "profile"), and the software solution works as intended by the
software vendor.
