That was not a statement about the necessity of profile URIs. It was
only a statement of a simple fact: profile URIs provide
disambiguation, not parsing instructions. I wrote that in direct
response to this:

Michael didn't see how that was expressed in profiles because it's
*not* expressed in the profiles. That doesn't mean profile URIs
aren't useful, just that they don't solve the problem of
communicating parsing instructions.
