GRDDL Profiles in Microformat creators

My other action[1] this week was to contact the Microformats folks
about getting Profile attributes built into the creator-o-matics[2].

I had a look at the creators and have some good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the creators only make HTML snippits for pasting
into other HTML content. Therefore the creators do NOT have the <body>
or <head> elements where we would need to add the profile attribute.

The good news is that the code is in the HG repository[3] which i have
access too. I CAN make a note on the page that says something like "Be
sure to include this profile attribute in the head element ..."
"what's a profile? [link here]" and/or "what is grddl? [link here]"

I can go ahead and add those into the creators, then email the staff
to see if they accept/modify/rollback the changes to take it to the
live site.

#1) any suggestions about the wordsmithing?
#2) i could only find the following profiles:
- hCard profile: http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns.html (which doesn't
actually have an XMDP profile, but that is fixable)
- hCalendar profile: http://w3.org/2002/12/cal/hcal (which returns an
empty RDF statement)

Are these the profiles we want to use for the creator-o-matics?

thanks,
-brian
