"While this specification

   across media types and thus could be associated with a resource,
   independent of its representations (i.e., using the same profile URI

Wonder whether this contradicts the idea that 'Link' is an *entity* header?


Ignoring my personal uneasiness regarding profiles in general, looks fine to me.
