No, it doesn't.
The profile is a document, which may also act as a namespace, which
describes what each META element *means*.
For example, if I use:
<meta name="T-Factor" content="12">
in a document, no browser, and very few users, will know what that means.
The document pointed to by the profile will define what "T-Factor" means.
One commonly used profile is Dublin Core. Another is RFC 2731, which is a
meta-profile, allowing you to mix and match other profiles.
