Of the Web documents that use XFN or RelLicense values what proportion
references a profile? If you were to write a UA doing some processing
with those values, could you afford to ignore the values in documents
that don't reference a profile? Are profiles useful for any real
implementation scenarios or are they pseudo-semantic cargo cult mumbo
jumbo?
