I think the answer to this is that the spec still wants to define the
DOM IDL attribute (which I actually missed when I claimed that there was
no required implementation behavior).
Thus, we'd still need:
-- snip --
[Supplemental]
interface HTMLHeadElement {
attribute DOMString profile;
};
The profile IDL attribute of the head element must reflect the content
attribute of the same name, as if the attribute's value was just a
string. (In other words, the value is not resolved in any way on getting.)
-- snip --
I'd be ok with this, avoiding misleading statements about what @profile
is for, and delegating the documentation to a proper spec.
Best regards, Julian
