Re: [dxwg] Improving profile guidance intro

Exactly my intention @aisaac
I wrote it as a "funnel" to draw the reader in from the general
understanding of the term to help us then be specific about what *we* mean
by the term.

Every time I mention to people that we're working on profiles the initial
response is something along the lines of "that's a loaded term. What
exactly do you mean by 'profile'?"
