Zimmerman's answers, back 9 years ago, also portrayed the conversation
as if it was about why tagging vs why not. Nobody here ever encouraged
the latter. I am pretty sure everyone, precisely in this list, tags
their data and has a strong opinion about doing so.
But, John, that was never the question. No matter the recommendation
on tagging all data, untagged data will still exist (in abundance),
and an assumption will be made, and Apple is making one. That is fact,
not something one cannot agree with. One cannot not assume a color
space.
The question is why assuming a variable color space, such as that of
the display profile (which is what you said OS X does today) or a
color space that is only particular to the Mac, such as Apple's
Generic RGB (which is what Zimmerman said on 2004 that OS X did) is
not a vastly worse option than assuming a pretty known color space, to
which many other devices claim to be close to, for which a profile is
ubiquitous in many platforms, and on to which some standard bodies
have actually standardize.
My take away (which I hope you help clear up) is that still, after 12
years of OS X, nobody outside Apple knows why Apple is making the
assumption it makes (or which one for sure it is at all).
I would really appreciate you helping clear this question.
