If you have knowledge of the profile you can process the implicit TD and 
produce an explicit TD that refers to vocabulary terms from bindings 
(that aren't existing now, but can and probably should exist), but if 
you do not have knowledge of profiles you might be confused with no way 
to exclude implicit elements, in general.

Ben stated that the profiles he crafted were carefully made so no 
confusion may happen, so we might try to see if nothing got overlooked 
and the situation isn't as problematic.

for node-wot since it has already a mean to address default overrides 
through subprotocols the transformation would require to add 
profile-specific subprotocols (and vocabulary terms to bind together 
coupled ops).

Or we all agree that the suggested degraded consumption of async actions 
is "fire and forget" and profile Things authors have to accommodate this 
constrain.
