profile has been deprecated
profile has been deprecated in HTML5 core. However, because the RDFa spec layers on top of the HTML spec, RDFa could reintroduce it. There is a discussion of profiles in RDFa at http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/rdfa-module.html. Since the spec hasn't been finalized in this regard, I don't think that we need to remove profile attributes yet.
However, there might be other reasons to drop this particular profile.
OK, thanks linclark, looks
OK, thanks linclark, looks like we should just keep it in for now and see what eventuates, I can't see that its hurting to have it in there.
