What is best practice for setting a QoS profile in a rclcpp publisher or subscriber?

edit

The Problem (in short)

I want to create a variety of rclcpp publishers and subscribers with a particular Quality of Service profile. I have found code and explanations that show how to create a QoS struct from the rmw library. I have also found some code that I _think_ works to convert this to a rclcpp::QoS, so that it can be input to a publisher or subscriber object. But does this code do what I think it's doing? And what is best practice here?

I'm using ROS2 Foxy for reference.

The Problem (in full)

Let's say I have some QoS profile (below) that follows the examples in qos_profiles.hpp. I know I need to convert this to a rclcpp::QoS object to input it to any ROS2 publisher or subscriber (in this example I'm using a Tf broadcaster).

#include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp"
#include "rmw/types.h"
#include "rclcpp/qos.hpp"
#include "tf2_ros/transform_broadcaster.h"

static const rmw_qos_profile_t my_custom_qos_profile =
{
    RMW_QOS_POLICY_HISTORY_KEEP_LAST,
    5,
    RMW_QOS_POLICY_RELIABILITY_RELIABLE,
    RMW_QOS_POLICY_DURABILITY_TRANSIENT_LOCAL,
    RMW_QOS_DEADLINE_DEFAULT,
    RMW_QOS_LIFESPAN_DEFAULT,
    RMW_QOS_POLICY_LIVELINESS_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,
    RMW_QOS_LIVELINESS_LEASE_DURATION_DEFAULT,
    false
};

class myNode: public rclcpp::Node
{
    std::shared_ptr<tf2_ros::TransformBroadcaster> broadcaster;

    void publish_transform (...)
    {
        // what goes here? rclcpp::QoS qos;?
        broadcaster = make_shared<tf2_ros::TransformBroadcaster>(this, qos);

        broadcaster->sendTransform(...);
    }
}

From the code in qos.hpp I think this works:

auto qos = rclcpp::QoS(
    rclcpp::QoSInitialization::from_rmw(my_custom_qos_profile),
    my_custom_qos_profile);

There is plenty of documentation on the QoS policies, but the documentation for this code is very minimal. So my questions are:

1. Does this code do what I think it does and copy across the full contents of my_custom_qos_profile?
2. What method is best practice? E.g. should I even be using the rmw_qos_profile_t type to hold this information?
3. Why does QoSInitialization exist? And what is its purpose beyond aiding the initalization of rclcpp::QoS?

Thanks in advance for any advice or explanation.
