I don't think I understand this difference yet, unless there also
exist instances that are not "Identity Profiles", yet also have an
'id', and a type: 'Identity'. Otherwise, why not just call the "type"
for "Identity Profile"..."Identity Profile" ?
If this is true, can you give an example of one -- something that
isn't an Identity Profile, but would use the type: "Identity"?
