Let me be a little more specific. I am assuming that the separate  
@profile spec will effectively define how profile may be used for  
disambiguation. Do we also need a change to HTML5 itself, or to any  
other draft? Or will this be covered  sufficiently by the new profile  
spec?

* If we need a separate change to HTML5 for ISSUE-82 -- then we need a  
Change Proposal.
* If we do not need a separate change to HTML5, and what the profile  
spec says should be sufficient -- then we should probably close  
ISSUE-82 by amicable resolution in the same way as ISSUE-55.

Which of these do you think is the correct way to handle it? I'd also  
welcome input from Tantek, Julian, or anyone else. Here is a link to  
ISSUE-82:
