Yup.

Sort of. One of the "problems" with really wide gamut spaces is that the
bits are spread farther apart and thus are not really appropriate for
editing in 8 bits per color. A user who is editing in Wide Gamut RGB would
really want a high bit file or you could end up with either banding or
posterization. You should check out Bruce Fraser's fine article on the
