what about a XMP tag?

Kind of defeats the idea of the ICC format doesn't it ?
ICC uses a tagged format so that it is clean, extensible,
and capable of storing arbitrary data. And the best thing,
is that by simply making use of the tag format that ICC
is built on, there's no need to add yet another complex
software library (XML parser), that operates differently
to everything else processing the file. Given that XML struggles
with binary data, I'm not sure that it will ever be suitable
for general color profiles.
Now I'm sure that XML has a place in things, particularly
if you're starting with a clean sheet, but I have my
doubts that it's some kind of magic pixidust.
Hi Graeme,
you redeemed me. thanks :-)
I think you're right (you are the programmer, so it must be that way).
Just thought: Hey, there are a lot of feasible XML parsers out there,
maybe this could speed up some things and ease the task of bringing
together what belongs together (profiles and metadata), but it doesn't
avoid to come together, talk about what's needed and to agree upon
something. It takes time and commitment anyway, pixidust doesn't work.
Klaus
