Re: [dxwg] A short token to specify a profile may be used as long as there is a discoverable mapping from it to the profile's identifying URI [ID5] (5.5) (#290)

- Old APIs and standards can remain just the way they are, no need to change.
- All that is needed is a mapping document from those tokens to URIs. (I don't see an inherent need to standardize that mapping document.)
- When communicating with a new API, clients can just use URIs, given that they have a mapping.

So I still see no reason for a new API to support legacy tokens, or to even have to support a standardized mapping.
