Norm, We resolved in the task force that the normative way of following one's nose would be via the doctype and DTD, since @about, etc... are defined by the DTD for XHTML1.1+RDFa. So I agree with all of the arguments you're making, except with regards to the *specifics* of how one follows one's nose. We are using @profile as an extra hint, but we do not consider it mandatory. I have come to agree with Manu and Ivan: let's have all our test cases use @profile, except for one, since we don't consider it mandatory. That shows "best practices" but also parser conformance. -Ben
