I understood the advantage of profiles was not so much to save
crawlers from wasted parsing, but just to establish a formal
difference between someone marking up their holiday card with
class="hcard" and a microformat hcard. I haven't seen any holiday
cards marked with class="hcard", but I have run into a few people who
seem to think this is a major problem with microformats, and it's
easier to point them to the profile that allows them to disambiguate
than to explain that there isn't really any ambiguity anyway.
