--- it seems to be the work of just one person who feels that the
world is collapsing without this and has gone off and done it himself.
IMHO He is pushing on all sorts of fronts that aren't really issues.

It seems like a duplication of work which is already in 2-3 other
places (gmpg.org, w3.org and microformats.org) now this.

What are people's thoughts. Is it worthwhile to have a single master
profile, or is the modular approach better? The downside of a massive
profile would be that it "squats" on all the terms. So if you are only
using XFN, it is redefining all the other terms within the page as
well. The up-side is that it is only 1 URL to include.

I can bring it up on the microformats list for a clarification if one is needed.
