Roger,
With the D100 RAW files, all the settable attributes are changeable in Nikon
Capture. The actual settings when the image was captured are stored
alongside the raw image detail, but none are fixed. So you can alter White
Balance, Sharpening, Tone, Color Mode, & Exposure (2 stops +/-).
Not sure about the working spaces. There are about 15 different color
profiles associated with Mode 2 in the Program Files/Common/Nikon/Color
folder (WindowsXP), plus a couple for Modes 1 and 2.
Bob Frost.

When I open an NEF in CameraRAW, I see a drop down menu of target RGB
