 if you try to validade an HTML5 doc, as HTML5, via validator.w3.org,  you
 get the following error:

 {{{
 Validation Output: 1 Error

  Line 3, Column 39: The profile attribute on the head element is obsolete.
 To declare which meta terms are used in the document, instead register the
 names as meta extensions. To trigger specific UA behaviors, use a link
 element instead.
 <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
 }}}

 <head profile...> comes from /wp-includes/theme-compat/header.php.
 '''Looks like the profile should be registered using META.'''
