Wording could probably be improved, but seems ok so far. But -

Would I be right in thinking the intention here is to specify
different transformations for different sections of the doc? That
seems quite a complicated addition (may just be the wording) for
little gain - does it even add anything, given that the frags can be
handled separately by the XSLT?

Is there an example anywhere demonstrating the utility of subProfile?
