Hi Jan-Peter,
I too am a member of the ICC (Digital Photography workgroup). I don't
see any real point in moving this to the ICC. The term "First Class

Your technical suggestions, however, are excellent, and I wonder
whether we couldn't simply write some code that attempts to implement
some of this, at least on the Mac . I am sure Tom's firm would be very
happy if a diagnostic tool dropped into their lap.
