Hi Richard,

|9.2.1
|AToB0Tag
|Tag signature: ‘A2B0’ (41324230h)
|Permitted tag types: lut8Type or lut16Type or lutAToBType

The spec allows to store old-style LUT, the Lab encoding of those tags 
is still V2, but there are subtle variations V2/V4 like for example the 
non-zero black point of V4 perceptual PCS, the reference gamut and so. I 
think it is not generally safe to include V2 tags in a V4 profile. It 
should be converted somehow.

Regarding the use of proprietary tags, I would not do that because 
compatibility issues. If Photoshop does not read the profile, people 
would complain about the profile, not Photoshop (for example)

Regards
Marti
