Re: Handling @profile

Ouch, I should have reported that. My implementation, of course, led to the same infinite loop at the beginning and, of course, I had to built in measures to avoid that...

Section 7.5 item 3 indicates that any element containing an @profile document is processed as indicated in RDFa Profiles (section 9). Test 0089 contains <head profile="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab">, which causes the parser to load <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab> to extract the vocabulary. That vocabulary also contains the same <head> element, so the parser goes into an infinite loop.

It seems that in the case of < http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab>, it is intended to note that this defines a profile, not requires a profile. Should processing rules be different the <head>, is the profile use in this case just wrong? In any case, it looks like an existing useage pattern that is incompatible with the processing instructions.
