Tagged RGB should be fine...but users might be disappointed with the results since virtually any standard RGB color space, even sRGB, is going to (mostly) have a wider gamut than the digital press. I think either converting to GRACoL beforehand or at least soft-proofing the job using GRACoL is the way to go. Again, tagged RGB should be OK *as long as their system is set to honor embedded profiles*. Personally, I'd be inclined to take the "gamut hit" up front and convert to GRACoL before handing it off to Blurb...that way the final result would more likely meet my expectations. But tagged RGB should be fine as long as you know what you're doing...and soft-proof. :-)
