Hi, Olaf
I understand the need, and I am sure the ICC will discuss any
changes in the profile specification which are required to support
it and other future workflows. However, I don't think you should
expect ICC to standardize all aspects of the approach such as the
method you use to look up a file by its url, or what you do with
the information in the profile. The 'slimmed-down' profile you
describe is essentially the profile header, so any approach is
going to start by reading the first 128 bytes of the profile. I
think this can be implemented now without waiting for it to be
standardized.
The main task of the ICC is defining a file format. A bodiless
profile is a different format that currently isn't in the
specification. I don't know of any profile vendors that build such
profiles. If everyone has the URL in a different location in this new
kind of profile, via different implementations, the interoperability
is going to be zero.
