Hi Michael,
I agree that "made-up" rel values should not be considered "hacks" when the
author has used the "profile" attribute ;)
But IMO, going this route makes sense only if UAs are able to take advantage
of it.

"As a globally unique name. User agents may be able to recognize the name
(without actually retrieving the profile) and perform some activity based on
known conventions for that profile..." [0]

We could wait for something like:
<head profile=http://www.acme.com/profiles/external>

[0] http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#profiles
