Thanks for pointing this out.

Just saying that one reason this might be the case, is because in order to
create running code, a common understanding of profiles is needed.

For example, if my system gets an actor from an activity streams object.
For it to be immediately useful the system needs to be able to know what to
do with it.  So IMHO this is a blocker.

Unfortunately this thread seem to now be off topic, so I think we may have
missed an opportunity.
