As for the IT8.7/4 target, if I go from the minutes of the last CGATS
meetings I have, there is no consensus as to what the ideal target for
the US is?

... which is surprising, since the ECI2002 target is a superset of the
IT8/7-3 target that was regarded "suitable" for years.

I'd disagree. I believe consensus on the IT8.7/4 has been met. Today the
ECI is a logical choice, my wager is that by the end of this year the
IT8.7/4 will supercede it. Frankly I then don't view this as a US choice
but a choice that can be interchanged with anyone.
Realize that the ANSI/CGATS IT8/7.4 is a superset of the ECI2002 and
includes patches required for the packaging and flexo markets. This was
the original objection to the ECI: it ignored input from these two
significant users of color management. In recent conferences I've been
in for these industries the target has been met with a lot of
anticipation, because the ECI while an improvement over the IT8/7.3
still didn't give them what they were looking for. The new IT8/7.4 can
still fit on a A4 or US letter sheet (though I prefer making it somewhat
larger for averaging sake) and, in it's visual layout, places patches
adjacent to the ECI target so that the ECI target is still clearly
distinguishable. It also has a scrambled version which has been
optimized to minimize printing effects such as ink starvation.
BTW I agree that in general, for measurement purposes the scrambled
targets are always to be preferred (whatever the target) but including a
visual target can sometimes instantly point out that there is no reason
to measure. The arrangement of the patches in the visual target is often
enough of a clue to a poor print run that you know you need to return to
square one before you profile.
