I remember the personal mail exchange between you, Tantek an me, which 
happened over a year ago or so, where we discussed this problem.
On http://sierkbornemann.de/  I use the profile attribute, wanting to 
refer to two profiles: http://gmpg.org/xfn/11  and my own defined one.
Trying to solve this problem, I have merged the two profiles into one, 
as you can see on http://sierkbornemann.de/profiles/core . So, I have 
only one URI to use in the profile attribute.
What do you mean to my solution? Could it be a legal doorway, escaping 
the problem?


Regards,
Sierk
