I thought that was the intent of ICCabsolute as well, but when I spoke directly with a representative of the ICC about this some time ago, they denied this, at least as far as displays are concerned. They explained that in order to achieve what we want to achieve, we must determine the real colorimetry first (using the chad tag, for example), and go from there. But the ICC don't call this ICCabsolute. The reason for my own interest in this topic is that when I purchased the Eye One Display product, and noticed that an absolute conversion from, say, a D50 whitepoint to a D65 monitor produced a D65 result, I threw my arms up in the air and exclaimed that Eye One Display was producing buggy profiles. (as some of you will recall ;^) I think I ended up being satisfied that the Eye One Profiles aren't really buggy, although I wished that they included the 'chad' tag.
