I wouldn't say so; Distiller is a Postscript rip, and supposedly it
understand the ICC profiles embedded into it, and embeds them in the PDF
(since 1.3) tagging the images or elements that had the profiles as tags
in postscript.
Or when you are saying that Distiller produces "DeviceCMYK" from that,
you mean it's not keeping the profiles?
And a PDF renderer ("rip"), which in most cases is also a postscript 3
rip, by nature has to understand ICC profiles in order to comply with PDF
1.3
