I've gotten used to explicitly adding profiles/transformations to seek out hcard/hcal/etc data. That being said, it would kind of scare me to have to do a layer of doctype checking (or however else is recommended to tell the difference between html 4, 5, xhtml, etc) to determine if I should just assume certain profiles are implied. I'd feel a lot more comfortable keeping it as something explicit which I instruct the GRDDL client to do.
