Description
if you try to validade an HTML5 doc, as HTML5, via validator.w3.org, you get the following error:
Validation Output: 1 Error Line 3, Column 39: The profile attribute on the head element is obsolete. To declare which meta terms are used in the document, instead register the names as meta extensions. To trigger specific UA behaviors, use a link element instead. <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<head profile...> comes from /wp-includes/theme-compat/header.php. Looks like the profile should be registered using META.

Theme in question is Grind, from Themedy, running on Genesis 2.0

Theme's aren't supposed to be relying on theme-compat files anymore. They're very deprecated. A very outdated theme might still rely on it, but for back compat issues, WP doesn't "fix" things like this, since that very outdated theme would have been like that for years now. Recommend "wontfix".
