Description

To avoid(reduce) potential parameter name clashes, KVP employs response[f] and response[prefer].
For sake of consistency, should response[profile] be used instead of https://github.com/opengeospatial/ogcapi-processes/blob/master/core/requirements/query-param-profile/REQ_definition.adoc?

Another potential disambiguation that response[profile] would provide is between different responses, as in async case. If running KVP with:

?...
&response=collection
&response[prefer]=respond-async
&response[profile]=stac
&profile=openeo

We could obtain an openEO-aligned job status response with the resulting output being a Collection Output that adheres to STAC metadata.

Without a response[profile]/profile distinction, they cannot be requested at the same time.
