A profile does not change the semantics of the resource representation
when processed without profile knowledge, so that clients both with
and without knowledge of a profiled resource can safely use the same
representation. The <code>profile</code> parameter may be used by
representation. The <code>profile</code> parameter MAY be used by
clients to express their preferences in the content negotiation process.
If the profile parameter is given, a server SHOULD return a document that
honors the profiles in the list which are recognized by the server.
It is RECOMMENDED that profile URIs are dereferenceable and provide
useful documentation at that URI. For more information and background
please refer to [[RFC6906]].</p>
