This standard does not attempt to deal with differing levels of ambient 
light, or differing monitor luminances; it simply turns all monitors into CRT 
emulations at CRT luminance levels, and CRT ambient levels, than waffles a bit and 
allows slightly brighter levels for LCDs, but without adjusting any of the 
other factors for this.

If you look at the ambient light functions in Spyder2PRO, they define 
appropriate matches between ambient light levels, monitor luminance, and monitor 
whitepoint. They encourage users to lower their ambient lighting, if its at a 
moderate or higher level, but offer appropriate matches between the three factors 
at all levels, since many users simply refuse to work in low, or even 
moderately low, light.
