I agree with that and you took Spec which illustrates that quite
clearly. So I don't think any people in the WG were argueing about
the concepts behind profiles and level.
For me,
Level is a improvement of the technology (successive version, which
are being more and more complete.)
Profiles are more something which is related to the type of
implementations of the Spec. You will do a profile for particular
type of tools, you will do a profile for specific usage, etc.
A profile is something which is optional for a spec I guess.
Now there's the way it has been used everywhere... and here come the mess.
