I have the greatest respect for Iliah, but I would like to see the detail of this. There are a bunch of night street videos made nowadays by amateurs, and even pros, which show someone walking on the sidewalk below whatever lights and signage a city has to offer. One can see the features of the model clearly, but the luminous displays typically burn out - why would they not retain detail if the highlights were treated better by higher in-camera and processing DR and a high DR display?

The base colorimetric models that are baked into the ICC approach are simply not appropriate for very high dynamic range capture (15 stops!)
Off-topic, but Iliah has done a great job at debunking the HDR myth. Even if you have a sensor that's sufficiently linear over that range, optical systems are a real limit. Much past a dozen stops, even if you're merging multiple images, and you're just doing more and more to capture the nuances of your lens flares and the camera's mirror box's internal reflections. And scenes with that much dynamic range are typically uncomfortably bright and rarely pleasant to look at. Who actually stares into the Sun when watching sunsets?
Really, when it comes down to it, if you think you need more dynamic range than you get with today's DSLRs, what you _really_ need to do is find or make better light.
