Adobe have made this a "standard" for wide gamut images and there are plenty of photographers wandering around with the sincere belief that processing RAW files into anything smaller will destroy valuable data in their images. 

Crap, there you go again (why do I bite...)

Adobe made this a “standard” how? Name the standards body.

And yes, if you are working in a Raw workflow, encoding into a color space smaller than ProPhoto (certainly Adobe RGB (1998)) will in many, many cases, depending on capture device and scene gamut, clip colors you can reproduce. On a press? No. So use the ProPhoto, 16-bit master and convert to a smaller color space for those needs. And Martin, its Raw, not RAW (its not a bloody acronym).

There’s no perfect RGB working space or we’d have just one. But going from Raw rendering to something like Adobe RGB (1998) versus ProPhoto will clip colors you can reproduce on a lot of desktop ink jet printers. To many photographers, losing that is akin to destroying valuable data.
