I have some questions about the document "CC/PP exchange protocol using HTTP
extension framework".

In section 5.2.1 Profile header, I'm afraid I do not understand the
following paragraph:

The profile-diff-number is the number which indicates the corresponding
Profile-Diff header. Multiple Profile-Diff headers are allowed to appear in
the same request. Threfore the profile-diff-number is introduced for the
purpose of indicating the corresponding Profile-Diff header. The
profile-diff-number is generated, and corresponds to the suffix of the
corresponding Profile-Diff header field-name in the same request.
Can anyone paraphrase this for me?

Secondly what is the rationale behind the use of the name space header
prefix declared in the extension declaration header?

Thanks in advance,
