RGB color space (ICC profile) should one assign to the scan?

The answer is simple. Assign your positive (transparency) profile and
convert to Adobe1998 (or whatever your taste is).
To which I add a humble hmm... Reaching back in memory to the film
days of yore, I recall needing different transparency profiles for
each type of transparency film (Fuji Velvia, Kodak Ektachrome, etc.)
on each scanner -- so does this fully pin it down?
(In fact, for this very purpose, Wolf Faust used to sell a nice,
relatively inexpensive set of transparency targets on several types
of film for profiling scanners.)
Of course, one doesn't run into this issue at all if one uses a DSLR
and a slide duplicating setup thingy. I guess because, unlike DSLR's,
(common) scanners never had "RAW" output?
