Quick thing...I've really tried *not* to give @profile "special
semantics". In my blog-post I tried to stress the idea of the profile
URI being a key, which is consistent with the HTML 4.01 definition.

The discussion we're having about what that key can be used for is of
course RDFa-specific, but at that point we're into processing not
syntax.
