No, that would be saying you "conform/comply to a profile". To fully support a profile, one would have to fully implement all features.

And why is this a bad thing? Who cares whether or not it supports all features if it's conforms? The lists in the article linked only show whether or not encoders implement all features of the standard and it's particular profiles.
