Oh for a copy of FreeHand... 12!
You hit the nail on the head. Illustrator is not profile
friendly--and even worse, you can't mix RGB and CMYK. Sounds funny,
but think about purposing content for the web (RGB) and print (CMYK).
In AI, I have to maintain two separate files!
Your pain is felt by many--put in a feature request with Adobe!
Sincerely,
Richard
Greetings Roger,
Just checked a copy of Illustrator CS5 and Adobe has changed the
Advanced Tab from CS4 to not include profile data - RATS!!!. I also
discovered, as you did, that embedding an image will give you a
warning which includes the color space of the image you want to
embed.
You can have images in different color spaces if you do not embed
them. You can confirm this by placing images with different color
spaces; saving as a PDF file with Include Profiles; check via
preflight in Acrobat and see that each image has retained its tagged
profile. Embedding them changes their color space to that of the
Illustrator document. For me another good reason not to embed images
in Illustrator.

I found an indirect way to discover what the embedded profile is. Short and
sweet.
Just select embed the image, once it is placed, and Illustrator will once
again bring the profile mismatch dialog.
Then it is a matter of reading...
I'm still not clear on using XMP to find out what the embedded profile is.
Best / Roger
