AW: ACTION-725: Check whether we need to mention anything about which type to cast to in the case of profile stream

All,

I checked whether we need an additional constraint to properly handle EXI profile streams in Canonical EXI.

I think an additional rule is needed and I therefore added a note in Section "4.2.1 Select productions according to specific conventions" [1] to make clear all implementations use the same xsi:type cast:

"Note: The EXI Profile uses the xsi:type attribute to switch from an evolving built-in element grammar to a non evolving schema-informed grammar. The specifications mentions in particular the xsd:anyType complex type but does not require this specific type. Canonical EXI processors MUST use xsd:anyType."

Any comments?
