Re: Last Call Response to ISSUE-73: RDFa Profile management

Sorry to continue on this thread, but...  in RDFa Core we say:

> The Host Language /may/ define a default RDFa Profile. If it does, the

We do not say 'the host language may define a bunch of profiles and 
require they all be read in a certain order'.  Is that what we want to 
say?   I have to say that I really hate that.
