A normal device profile is like having a translator from English to Esperanto.
Plug it together with another device profile and you get a conversion from
Esperanto to (say) German. Esperanto (like the Profile Connection Space - PCS)
is they key. With it you only need to have translators that convert half way.
This reminds me of the story of the Navy evaluating software to translate
service manuals to foreign languages. As a test, they had the computer
translating from English to German and then they fed the German into a German to
English translator and they proof read the result.
They had problem understanding what "water goat" meant and looked up the
original. It was "hydraulic ram".
(A ram in this context is a mechanical device: cylinder & piston. Not computer
RAM)
The moral of the story: Watch you input output translators.
