Karl, that means the data is scene referred (colorimetrically
correct) which
goes back to the points Thomas Knoll was discussing. Scene referred is
usually quite ugly for lack of a better term when viewed on a
device like a
display which is output referred.
I want photographers to forget this idea they are working towards
"accurate"
colorimetrically correct color when in almost all cases (copy work not
withstanding), they want pleasing color.
Andrew, Karl's hint is about speeding up a workflow, not doing ICC
color management
as it is meant to be. It is a lot faster to change a profile than to
process a set of
actions in Photoshop, that's all.
The ICC has a very good basic white paper that discuss this very
important
distinction:

Thanks for the reference !
