I can see that section 3 took a lot of work to develop;
thanks, Henry.  I have mostly editorial comments.

I recommend we change the title of section 3.1 to
 Data model invariants within a given profile
(unless I'm misunderstanding, because that's what
I think we mean here).

---

Section 3.1, Unexpanded Entity Reference ...
It would help to make clearer just what "will not occur".
At first I wasn't sure if that just referred to [parent]
(though I soon realized otherwise).  I think we could
stand to be a bit more verbose and just have a standalone
(pardon the pun) sentence saying something like:
 There will be no Unexpanded Entity Reference Information 
 Items when using any profile if standalone="yes" or
 when using 2.3 The modest XML processor profile or 2.4 The
 basic recommended XML processor profile profiles.

---

Section 3.2.1.  Again, the bit after the emdash is unclear.
We should write a complete sentence that is clearer.

---

Section 3.2.2.  I assume we will plan to expand the "Ditto"s.

---

In section 3.2 in general, wouldn't variation between, say,
minimum and modest include all the differences listed in
section 3.2.2?  So shouldn't section 3.2.1 have at least
a statement such as "And all variation listed in 3.2.2
and 3.2.3"?  Similarly for a reference to 3.2.2 from the
bottom of 3.2.2?
