Except that 'profile' is really not going anywhere, from what I have
heard over the last few years in the HTML WG. Underdefined, overloaded,
who knows. The remnant of a dying world, perhaps. Gad. Get me some 
coffee.

BTW, I musta been out of the country for this one. Where in the world 
did the idea of appending "#" to the *end* of a URL come from? Seems 
very weird or just wrong. I don't know of a file system that likes files
named "#", and I don't want to *always* rely on a web server to patch
me through to index.html or whatever. Anyone? What does this mean?
