In last weeks telecon we talked a little about the use of the term
"Fragments" and the chair said we should continue off-line.
I propose we stick with "profile", as per the QA Working Group [1]:
A profile is a subset of the technology that supports a particular
functional objective....
Profiles can be based on hardware considerations associated with
target product classes -- for example, SVG Tiny is aimed at mobile
phones -- or they may be driven by other functional requirements of
their target constituencies -- for example, a graphical profile
tailored for technical illustrations in aircraft maintenance
manuals.
and Wikipedia [2]:
an agreed-upon subset and interpretation of a specification.
Not exciting, and jargon (like "fragments" is), but hey...
