Or to put it another way, whether to shoot jpegs or raw depends upon the
intended quality of the final image.
I kind of doubt that many advertising photographers shoot Jpegs, or the
gal shooting Santa photos at the mall is shooting in raw mode. Also I
doubt that there are many truly serious artistic photographers who are
shooting digital (not the guys who are selling their photos at art fairs
who are in about the same catagory as the starving artist --3 oil
paintings for $20-- guys).

From my experience in various press venues, I'd say that magazine
photographers shoot RAW, newspaper photographers shoot jpeg.

3) Find me one action photographer that wastes his space with raw
files. They require lots of extra time to process. Most action
photographers I know shoot action with jpg.
This s the one point where I would disagree with you. Almost all the
action photographers I know from my times in the media room at motor
races shoot RAW. Who do you think is buying those 12GB CF cards?
