      Comment:

      "A resource can be profiled to specify where particular extensions are used" -> "A resource can be profiled to specify where particular extensions are required or expected"

      Extensions can appear anywhere permitted without any profiling. All profiling usually does is indicate the expectation for an extension to be present. (Unless you're using closed slicing, which we wouldn't encourage.)

      Summary:

      Clarify that profiles don't enable extensions, just guide them.
