I'm OK with this.

I'm OK with this also.

I'd break the tie with whichever is easier to implement. Coming up with all new reasonable length descriptive text for MLUC is more work, than just sticking a URL in that same location. If the wikipedia URL is expected to be reliable for 20 years, fine, use it.

I think they should have test in the name, at least. There's no chance the vcgt in such profiles can produce D65, D55, D50 white points on random displays. It's reasonable if they were: cool white, neutral white, warm white. But then we'd have some polly prissy pant's (including me on a Thursdays) wondering why D50 is considered warm. Nevertheless for most displays that would be true.
