Hi!

Indeed, I thought about dng's "normalized raw" definition. 

For dt it would thus just be a raw, if(!) the intention is to add it to a dt-db 
at all. 

However, if one would do this, dt already had some "preset" on how to process 
this specific raw, and as dt does not change a raw one ends up with the 
possibility to archive ones processing, which can be altered, but not destroyed 
accidentially. I think this all has some charming aspects /and/ is,cleanly 
handling your "never write to the raw" policy.

Optionally, a dng container can hold the proprietary raw along the normalized 
one. This gives about twice the filesize, but is defined in the specs.
