Good point. But then, what's the point of all these RGB colourspaces? I can understand the purpose of sRGB and Apple RGB as being colourspaces which will allow the file to display reasonably well on uncalibrated or uncontrolled systems and print adequately on systems which ignore profile data, but if it's best to keep an image in the colour space of its capture device until final (CMYK?) output, what's Adobe RGB for, then?
