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

Oh - you are referring to Section 5.2?  Sorry.  Still half asleep.  That 
section is correct - this specification does *provide* a default 
profile.  It also references a profile from another specification.  See 
section 3 for the normative requirements on processors.  Section 5.2 was 
a place holder in case we want to put the text of the profile into the 
spec.  Remember that in 1.0 we included all the terms.  In this spec we 
do not yet have the list of terms.  However, for author convenience it 
might be nice to include the list of terms and prefixes that are brought 
in at the start of processing... once we agree what those are.

Putting it another way, in order to work properly, the content of rdfa-1.1 (the bunch of prefixes) should be added to the html-rdfa-1.1. This is not what I said in
