Hi Eban,

Sorry for the late reply. I was away on a short vacation.

I'm glad you have it working now. That's right, Profiles are considered a 
"Lightweight" extension of the meta-model and you have to decide which parts 
of the meta-model to extend. It is possible to have a stereotype extend more 
than one metaclass so that the stereotype can be applied on multiple types. 
Also, the stereotype can be applied to all sub-classes of the extended 
metaclass.
