To be clear, the proposal does not change the value for the
rel=profile relation, except maybe for the typos in the spec
http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp/Container as it's supposed to be
http://www.w3.org/ns/ldp#Container :-) Same for ldp:Resource.

I know you wanted to avoid the confusion between the class and the
object. That would actually align with the rationale of changing
rel=type to rel=interaction. That being said, I think it's fine to
keep ldp:Resource/ldp:Container as values because a class is just a
URI as others that can can be used as object. We would just make sure
that by dereferencinng them, we found find the information about using
them in the context of rel=profile and everything would be just fine.
