"profile" attribute for link set media types

[hvdsomp]

It would be useful to define a "profile" attribute for both media types defined in the I-D. Profiles could, for example, be used to express a constraint on the link relation types that are used in a link set. As a concrete example, TimeMaps from the Memento protocol (RFC7089) could be expressed as link sets. A profile attribute would allow indicating to clients that a particular link set is actually a Memento TimeMap.

for context: this issue would add a profile media type parameter as defined here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6906#section-3.1

I made changes to the I-D to describe the use of the "profile" attribute for the link set media types.

that looks great, thanks. as one minor tweak i'd rather say that profile URIs "MAY" be registered, and not "SHOULD" be. the registry has seen pretty much no usage so far, and while i think it's great to mention it, it's perfectly ok to use profile URIs without registering them.

Agreed. I made the change.
