Ok, I just remembered that the RAW converter can open a file in
ProPhoto RGB color space. Someone here once said that's the widest
gamut that's practical for photographic use. So I'm going to save my
conversions as ProPhoto. When I have to print, I'll probably convert to
generic rgb. I don't have a ColorSynch profile for ProPhoto, and I
haven't had much luck printing from color spaces other than generic
rgb. I tried Adobe 98 RGB this morning, and the resulting print was
less saturated than my Generic RGB print of the same file.

as much sense to scan using a profile with an even wider gamut?

If you scan in Adobe RGB and save your original, you'll have all that
information available. You won't lose anything by converting to sRGB.
Then, if you someday decide to output to a device that takes a wide
gamut, you'll have your original scan in wide gamut color space.
