[David Singer <[e-mail]>]

maybe that would imply that only official ones should be used?

It is coded in XML, and there are risks that deliberately malformed XML could cause security issues. In addition, an MPD could be authored that causes receiving clients to access other resources; if widely distributed, this could be used to cause a denial-of-service attack.

The contents of this attribute shall conform to either the pro-simp or pro-fancy productions of RFC6381, Section 4.5. The profile identifiers reported in the MIME type parameter should match identically the profiles reported in the profiles attribute in the MPD itself (see Clause 8).
