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>
<p>This specification defines three values for the <code>profile</code> parameter.
To request or specify <a href="#expanded-document-form">expanded JSON-LD document form</a>,
the URI <code>http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#expanded</code> SHOULD be used.
To request or specify <a href="#compacted-document-form">compacted JSON-LD document form</a>,
the URI <code>http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#compacted</code> SHOULD be used.
To request or specify <a href="#flattened-document-form">flattened JSON-LD document form</a>,
the URI <code>http://www.w3.org/ns/json-ld#flattened</code> SHOULD be used.
Please note that, according [[HTTP11]], the value of the <code>profile</code>
parameter has to be enclosed in quotes (<code>"</code>) because it contains
special characters and, if multiple profiles are combined, whitespace.</p>

paramter -> parameter

the value of the <code>profile</code> parameter MUST be enclosed in quotes (<code>"</code>) if it contains
special characters such as whitespace, when multiple profiles are combined.</p>
<p>In addition to the <code>profile</code> values described above,
the <code>profile</code> parameter MAY include one additional URL, which is interpreted as
the location of either a <a>context</a> or <a>frame</a>, depending on the other profile
parameters included. When used without an defined profile URI, such a URL
is interpreted as the location of a <a>context</a>.</p>
<p>JSON-LD processors MAY place restrictions on supported profiles,
MAY provide defaults for <a>context</a> and <a>frame</a> URLs,
and MAY restrict client-provided URLs for <a>contexts</a> and <a>frames</a>.</p>

" ... MAY provide defaults for context and frame URLs, and MAY restrict client-provided URLs for contexts and frames . "

That seems to be a possibly major new feature. Was this discussed and adopted in an issue (if yes, and I just do not remember, my apologies)?

I guess this is a feature that schema.org processors may declare: they use schema.org as a default profile. But that would mean that users of schema.org may then decide, en masse, not to declare their own context by any means, which means that their data become unusable for others than schema.org. This may have dire consequences...

@iherman this is why the "limit profile parameter use to URI’s" of our resolution text is important, and why it suggests creating a new issue for that URL dereferencing approach--which Gregg's has fleshed out a bit in the API PR w3c/json-ld-api#56 (uses Link headers instead of the profile= media type parameter).

note that its value contains one or more URIs and not IRIs. In some cases
it might therefore be necessary to convert between IRIs and URIs as specified in
