I disagree wholeheartedly. TAG THE FILES.
Since all of Adobe's software offerings require a source profile
(expressed or assumed), doesn't it make sense to supply the correct
one?
Read this interesting article by Dan Margulis commenting on exactly
this
question:

(I don't know what to think.)
Well, my first conclusion is that the author has had some bad
experiences with printing.
But...
doesn't change a thing. The first problem image he shows is the
result of someone assuming an incorrect source profile. By leaving
files untagged you force those downstream to assume incorrect source
profiles.
Finally, he resolves problems in the last image by assuming an
incorrect source profile. And, interestingly enough, in both cases
it's the same incorrect profile - sRGB
What the author didn't touch on is that any of the situations
described require the selection of an appropriate destination color
space.
Submission of untagged CMYK files is the workflow that made color
management necessary.
