The check referer facility should understand the profile option.

It would be very appreciated if we could set up on web pages links like 
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer&profile=css21

Rationale:

1. http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer won't validate pages with
some CSS2.1 specific properties (for example display:inline-block) but which are
valid according to the CSS 2.1 spec.

2. We can already do use links like 
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://xxx&profile=css21

3. Using the above syntax (specifying an explicit URI) forces us to compute the
page url for each web page, which can consume some precious time in some cases.
Agreed that this puts the burden on the W3C machines, but those machines will
only to have to do the computation when asked, not for every page rendering.
