There is nothing in the specification suggesting overriding any values. It says
the external profile "might define properties". The values for these properties
are then set via META. I read it as --  there are no values in the profile. 

The properties (like author or keywords) defined in the profile are later
repeated in META. So I ask myself -- why bother with profile at all. It seems
to be pointless to repeat the same information twice. 

Is there somewhere an example of a profile file one could take a look at?
