Why not originate the document in sRGB then? If the exported file is going to be converted to sRGB anyway, why present the user with a choice of other color spaces in the first place? This is an even easier workflow for the user, and for coding. And doesn't result in the rather obvious mismatch you otherwise end up with between a native document in one space, and the PDF document in another space.
