I have no specific answer to your questions, but I know some people  
who have worked on GRDDL tried also to extract part of the  
information of the profiles. You *may* find information on this side.

Implementations

As of April 1st 2005, five partial or full implementations of GRDDL  
have been announced:

     * an XSLT-based on-line demonstrator, developed by the author,  
implements all the transformation mechanisms described in the  
specification, but without real error handling; this implementation  
is only available as a Web interface.
     * glean.py, a Python implementation by Dan Connolly (co-author  
of the GRDDL specification) which also implements all the mechanisms  
as a command line tool.
     * garner.py, another Python implementation by Sean Palmer,  
available both as command line and as Web service
     * a PHP implementation for RAP, the Semantic Web toolkit for  
PHP, implementing at this time the XHTML-mechanisms only
     * Dave Beckett's GRDDL parser implemented in C as part of  
raptor, also available through a Web interface

The diversity of implementations and their number at this stage of  
development of the specification is a positive sign of the interest  
in the technology among the Semantic Web community; hopefully this  
number should grow even larger, and GRDDL could become a basic part  
of any RDF toolkit.
