I think the horse has bolted. At the outset, Adobe had the choice
between an (initially) proprietary extension of the ICC methodology or
using an entirely new Raw model of their own. Each of these had
technical advantages, I guess. They chose an entirely new description,
probably because the original DNG 2-matrix model is elegant, easy to
code and understand. Now they've chosen to extend it rather than move
sideways into the ICC world.
So there's no point in telling Adobe that ICC-conformant models are
intrinsically better - they aren't. It's just that they allow a large
pool of third-party contributors, who cater to the whims of market
niches.
Standardisation has nice sides; but technical excellence has nothing
to do with standards conformance.
Expect DNG to get more baroque year by year :)
