Hi,

as somebody only occasionally watching: YES.

I fear that the new profile feature introduces an indirection mechanism 
that is likely to cause more confusion than XML namespace prefixes will 
ever manage to, so identifying a subset of RDFa that can be processed 
without having to consult an additional resource seems to be very much 
needed.
