Original definition: "provider of professional services."

The general ProfessionalService type for local businesses was deprecated due to confusion with Service. For reference, the types that it included were: Dentist, AccountingService, Attorney, Notary, as well as types for several kinds of HomeAndConstructionBusiness: Electrician, GeneralContractor, HousePainter, Locksmith, Plumber, RoofingContractor. LegalService was introduced as a more inclusive supertype of Attorney.
