Thanks, Marti, for the instantaneous response (and, again, for all of
your LCMS work).

I did the experiment with icc2it8 you suggest, and it worked as you
said.  However (unless I missing something), what it seems to do is
convert an *existing* profile to an IT8 data sheet, in this case with
sRGB, XYZ, and L*a*b* data.

What I'm trying to do is to start from an IT8 image, generate sRGB,
XYZ, and L*a*b* data, and create a *new* profile from that.

More exactly, what I'm trying to do is understand LCMS with the goal
of generating profiles for several physical devices, and possibly
writing some code (GIMP plug-ins?).  The experiment I originally
described is, in itself, meaningless: Generate an "identity" profile
which will lossly convert sRGB to sRGB.  I thought this would be a
good test of my understanding, and it failed miserably.  :-)

My question (if you have time to consider this further) is still
whether there is something conceptually wrong in my workflow, or if
it's just a mistake in coding/usage details.  Unfortunately, I've
checked the latter -- comparing my code's results with those of
icctrans, which matched -- and can't see any problem there.
