 <p>A given profile may be used by a Timed Text Markup Language content author for one of two functions: (1) to declare that a
 <loc href="#terms-document-instance">document instance</loc> adheres to a collection of constraints on what
 vocabulary is used and how it is used, or (2) to declare that a <loc href="#terms-processor">processor</loc> must satisfy certain conditions on how
 content is processed. The first of these functions is termed a <loc href="#terms-content-profile">content profile</loc>, while
 the second is termed a <loc href="#terms-processor-profile">processor profile</loc>.</p>
-
 <p>A <loc href="#terms-content-profile">content profile</loc> is used to allow an author to declare, at authoring time,
 what constraints the author intends to apply to a <loc href="#terms-document-instance">document instance</loc>. Such a
 declaration permits downstream processors to perform content validation or verification, as well as to guide or limit subsequent
 transformation or editing of content in order to maintain adherence to an author specified content profile. In addition, a
 downstream processor may use a content profile declaration to perform an early determination of its ability to process the features
 implied by the content profile.</p>
-
 <p>Content profiles are declared by using (1) the <loc href="#parameter-attribute-contentProfiles"><att>ttp:contentProfiles</att></loc>
 attribute on the root <el>tt</el> element, (2) one or more top-level <loc href="#parameter-vocabulary-profile"><el>ttp:profile</el></loc>
 elements of type <code>content</code>, or (3) a combination of these two mechanisms. If not declared, no content profile is implied.</p>

 <p>A <loc href="#terms-processor-profile">processor profile</loc> is used to allow an author to declare, at authoring time,
 what processing must be supported when processing a <loc href="#terms-document-instance">document instance</loc>, such that, if a
 processor is not able to perform the indicated processing, then processing should be aborted. Such a declaration permits downstream
 processors to avoid processing content that cannot be processed in a manner that meets the requirements of the content author.</p>

 <p>Processor profiles are declared by using (1) the <loc href="#parameter-attribute-processorProfiles"><att>ttp:processorProfiles</att></loc>
