Amazing.
Marti, I was rather thinking about normal ICC profiles and a CMM which only honors the relcol AToB1 tables to obtain the device characteristics and ignores all other tables. however, it seems that your thoughts go even further ... > >Except for a few extended features (like BPC, proofing, gamut warning), > >LCMS is basically also a "dumb CMM" engine, which just applies the > >tables contained in the profiles. > > Yes.. this is how ICC profiles works today.

Even though the term "dumb CMM" might be interpreted negatively, I really DO NOT want to imply, that this is such a bad evil. As you say (and as I also attempted to say previously) that's just the way how ICC color management works today. It has some advantages (simpler CMM (though still complicated enough), fast calculation of the transform) and it also has some limitations, which could only be solved with a smart CMM approach.
