Adobe has not refuted ICC profiles, just stated that they currently cannot
do the things that need to be done in a good RAW workflow. Adobe has not
abandoned ICC profiles in any way, just extended the concept for a case that
was not anticipated by the ICC. Adobe is continuing to work with the ICC to
extend and improve the standard (which I hope will address the needs of RAW
captures soon, but standards take time).
Have you read the FAQ on the profiles or the DNG 1.2 specification? The DNG
Camera Profiles (yes, I hate the name too) are the same data you would find
in ICC profiles, plus extensions. Unfortunately, those extensions don't
interoperate well in ICC profiles as-is, so packaging them into an ICC
profile would not work (different software would interpret the profile
differently, and get different results).
So, you asked that Adobe extend the standard instead of abandoning it -- but
that's what we're already doing.
Please take the time to read:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles_FAQ
and
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/pdfs/dng_spec_1_2_0_0.pdf
