Consider the following case: Converting from Lab -> CMYK using the BtoA
tables of an ICC profile with "Absolute Colorimetric" as a rendering intent.

As I understand it, the ICC profile does not contain an Absolute
colorimetric BtoA table. Rather, it will use the relative colorimetric
BtoA table, along with whitepoint data, for any look-ups it makes.

Can anyone explain what algorithm is used for these conversions between
relative and absolute colorimetric?

Is it simply adding/subtracting the DeltaE between the whitepoint and
100,0,0 ? Is this delta value added for all points in the color space? 
Only for points where L is above a certain limit?

Any information is appreciated.
