Just a little clarification about my previous proposal. I suggested  
that profiles could register a short name as equivalent to a longer  
URL-named profile, but it wasn't intended that profile URLs be  
disallowed. This:

     <div profile="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-profile">

and this:

     <div profile="hcard">

would be both allowed and equivalent, only the later is shorter to  
write. Private vocabularies (to not call them microformats) would be  
able to use URLs, but to use short names the URL would need to be  
registered with that name first. Any unregistered short name would be  
non-conformant. So profile, contrary to class, would have no  
possibility of conflict.

(Short names would be defined as containing no colon, so that they  
can't be valid absolute URLs.)
