OK, I was too quick. After some spec. chasing and head scratching, I
think I understand what you were trying to do here. Maybe clearer if
it read:
<note diff="add"> <p>If an XML document which specifies
<code>standalone="no"</code> in its XML Declaration is processed
with either this profile or the <specref ref="idProfile"/>,
defined below, the resulting infoset may be lacking items that the
author deemed significant. But no error will be signalled, as
just noted above, a conformant XML processor conforming to one of
these profiles cannot be a validating processor, and checking the
standalone declaration is not 'no' in such cases is a validity
constraint. Processors conforming to one of these profiles may
accordingly wish to provide some form of warning if they encounter
<code>standalone="no"</code>.</p>
