Profiling is "dumb" it doesn't know anything about content of elements.
So if you want to profile whole column you have to put profiling
attribute on each entry in this column. Also if you use CALS tables you
need to adjust cols attribute on tgroup element. And of course spans
will be the most difficult task.

So in some cases it can be quite straightforward, in some cases it would
be very difficult.
