Makes no sense to me. How is a lower gamut (sRGB-like) display have anything to do with the output to print? You might work with a display who's colors are wider and can't be seen. That's the fault of the display.
Can you provide me a gamut map (preferably from ColorThink) that shows any output device who's gamut insn't larger than sRGB somewhere in it's color space? Love to see it. I can provide you a gamut map showing an output device who's gamut is fully contained in Adobe RGB (1998) or larger. That's a quite different story than what you appear to propose. That by working with an image in a gamut larger than sRGB but on an sRGB display, the printer can by that virtue not render what's in the file. I think the statement that most printers cannot faithfully render what's in those files needs some backing up on your part.
You have a low(er) gamut display than your output (print) device. You can either decide the display is more important than the output device (clip colors to that gamut) or decide the print is more important than the display (get those colors you couldn’t see on the display). Those are the only two options Mark. For me, for others, the print is the final and more important than the display. We retain all the color data we can for print output today and into the future. And as display gamut technolog improves, that data is still available for that use, not clipped to some silly, small gamut space designed in the early 1990's for a lot of consumers who woudln't know a profile from a pickel. For that group, let them eat sRGB cake.
