Re: [dxwg] profileDesc and the Guidance document

So here is where I'm confused: if we write a spec that says all you need to have a profile is a URI, then absolutely everything on the web is potentially a profile. If we think a machine-readable form of a profile is a necessity, and the only guarantee we make for a programmer is that the thing has a URI, we haven't really offered the programmer anything useful to code against. I'm still not sure that a machine-readable profile needs to be anything other than a schema, though. That's what I'm hoping some real use cases can clarify. What do we want profiles to do that a schema doesn't already do?
