It's an advantage. A serious advantage would be able to synchronize
across multiple users on the same machine, and a really serious
advantage would be to synchronize across a network connection. Another
serious advantage would be the ability to lock the color settings so a
regular user can't change them :)
There are some big changes in how InDesign CS2 behaves (and to some
degree Illustrator CS2) in terms of color management. There is a new
color management policy for CMYK: Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked
Profiles) which behaves like the Off policy when placing CMYK files,
but still embeds and honors Document CMYK in the InDesign document
itself. Color management policies are also embedded into the document,
and the default is that document policies override application
policies. That's going to be interesting. There are also changes in
printing, with a Preserve CMYK Numbers checkbox which effectively sets
untagged objects assumed source profile to match the selected Printer
Profile to ensure untagged objects don't convert.
I do like the Preserve Numbers policy because it translates into color
management being on by default in InDesign (previously it was not), and
it also ensures the color appearance of a document can be preserved
down the road even when placing untagged CMYK objects, by embedding a
CMYK profile (again by default) into the ID document itself. The rest
is a mixed bag.
