No, an embedded profile contains the information required to render the image 
relative to that CS, it's not simply a line of text pointing to a local 
profile. Embedded an image with the sRGB profile causes it to become 
approximately 4kB larger in file size, most RGB CSs are quite small WRT file 
size, embedding some obscure RGB CS and most CMYK CS bloat files significantly.
