What you have not quite said, Richard, is that this adjustment is the one
that you would need in order to correct linear RGB to standard sRGB -- so
the output of GIMP is not gamma corrected. IMO this is correct, since
gamma-correcting would introduce inaccuracies and also reduce precision
(which in this case is already limited to 1/256.). The wikipedia images are
based on converting the L to rgb by treating the AB channels as if they
were zeroed. This produces an image that *looks* accurate but is
mathematically inaccurate.
