Nigel- That's an interesting W3C process link. I think I see the history of why this came to be - obviates the need for an RFC as required for other core namespace media types required by IETF. But it clearly requires a normative provision in the TTML specs. It clearly does not permit deference to a Note. I think we're OK on backwards compatibility since we are just adding a new parameter. No idea how to resolve the conflict between two normative provisions of TTML1SE and TTML2... As the W3C process requires the personal efforts of Wendy or Philippe, I now don't see how I can help.

I don't understand how this approach is supposed to deal with multiple versions and updates of the same Recommendation over time, that may all want to use the same MIME type registration. This is one for Philippe to answer, I think, as the maintainer of [1]. Plus, I see that in [3], section 5.5 Change Procedure: "When review is required, a change request may be denied if it renders entities that were valid under the previous definition invalid under the new definition." which helps with our understanding of how to manage the existing profile parameter on application/ttml+xml when we do come to make a change.
