But what you will do with title and para without surrounding chapter (it 
has not condition, so it should be stripped out according to your 
request)? Or should the whole chapter be supressed because it has not 
condition set?

You must keep in mind that after profiling you should get subset of 
original document that is still valid according DocBook DTD. If this 
validity is not maintained it is very probably that you will get 
corrupted output from stylesheet.

Your requirements can very easily let to non-valid profiled document. I 
think that you can still solve your requrements but you will have to 
write custom XSLT transformation that will do some sort of more 
intelligent profiling based on additional knowledge in stylesheets. For 
example your modified profiling code can left unlabeled chapter element 
in documet if it contains some labeled subelements. But something like 
this can't be part of standard profiling because it depends on your very 
special needs.
