Let's say the InDesign CS2 Print Dialog Color Management, Color
Handling is set to "Postscript Printer Determines Color." I don't see
how the "Preserve CMYK Numbers" checkbox can make a difference here.
If I send this job to a postscript RIP that assumes a US Sheetfed
profile, won't everything be converted regardless? How would this
differ from not checking the box? In the work flow I'm establishing
I'm NOT checking the box because I want everything to convert for
proofing sake, but I'm not sure there is any difference here. Yet
Adobe is throwing up an exclamation mark in my face. :-)
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

If you turn off "Preserve CMYK Numbers", generate a ps file, and
Distill (with No Color Conversion) everything in the resulting PDF
will be tagged. Untagged elements and native InDesign objects will be
tagged with the document working space profiles.
If you turn on "Preserve CMYK Numbers", generate a ps file, and
Distill only the placed elements tagged with a profile OTHER than the
document working space will be tagged. If you output Composite CMYK -
untagged RGB will be tagged with the document's RGB working space.
The extra tags will add to the size of the PostScript file.
