I see no connection between the spec's introduction and
your assertion that it implies that there is no need to do
a transformation when the profiles happen to be the same.
Taken the way you are taking it, ICC profiles aren't meant
to translate from non-device colorspaces to other non-device
colorspaces like XYZ, Lab or PhotoCD, nor to hold spot color
information, and this is clearly not the case.

Some people on this list have expressed appreciation of my
frank discussion of issues surrounding color, and the ICC
in particular. Sorry you're offended by me not making out
that everything is sweetness and light ..
