Graeme, Yes - the ICC site is not up yet for automated retrieval. However, that work is underway. Primarily the ICC is doing that to support PDF/X-5 which allows URL referencing for the output intent.  There is no reason why other systems could not use it as well after it is up.

Last time I checked, this wasn't actually very useful in itself. If the idea was like XML style sheets where you could embed a URL instead of the actual file, and then know you could download the ICC profile from a standard location, then it might be useful in some situations. The information on the ICC website however is a (human readable) list of identification information for each profile, that includes vendors names, contact details etc. so that you can then contacted them manually and profiles obtained/purchased from them. See <http://www.color.org/JC200103.html> for an example entry. It's nice to have this information in one location, but it's not an automatable process.
