If I'm reading Julian correctly, then no, he thinks that @profile
should not affect data-* attributes.

Data-* interactions with @profile is not required for any existing
use-cases, and it is explicitly anti-recommended in the current HTML
draft as data-* attributes should only carry private semantics, not
publicly-shareable ones.  If you believe you have concrete use-cases
that show the contrary, please indicate them on the page and in the
manner that Tantek requested.  That will help ensure that maximum
consideration is given to the idea.
