One more question:
How, in OS X, can you choose the PhotoRealistic option while still having the ColorSync option enabled? They seem to be mutually exclusive for my 875DC driver.

In RWCM (on p. 352), the figure shows Black Point Compensation as being enabled. In this post, the recommendation is that it be disabled. What's the current wisdom, and what's the rationale?

3) What about the entry for "EPSON Stylus Photo <model_number> Standard"? Should it remain at its installed default (i.e., just changing the profile association for each media type that you've custom-profiled)?

You don't get rendering intent control on OS X (yet), and you won't have the option of black point compensation either, in comparison to Photoshop. Both of these are important options to have. The following two options would get you the "same" results (differences between Adobe ACE and Apple CMM notwithstanding):
