I
just wonder if it matters a tinkers' **** what white balance is selected at
the point of shooting as (by definition) the RAW file is a pure record of
what the sensor actually sees without any adjustment (I've heard it called a
digital negative).

This is my first post to PRODIG so I'll introduce myself. I am a documentary and editorial photographer located in South Carolina. Here is information on white balance and RAW: http://www.photoxels.com/tutorial_white-balance.html
" A discussion in WB would not be complete without a mention of the RAW file format available in many advanced digital cameras. When you save an image in RAW file format, you are saving it the way the image sensor sees it -- without applying any adjustments (including white balance) to it. In fact, the camera ignores any WB setting you dial in. "
I use the MacBeth chart in PhotoShop but don't adjust white balance on the Canon 10D.
