With that you specify quite some implementation details.

You now have to decide if ORA requires implementations to handle 
implicite colour conversions to normalise to the linear or sRGB like 
gamma. With source images in wide gamut spaces that might mean, 
to either render using floats or convert into a colour space big 
enough to cover the source spaces. Otherwise saturated colours are 
at risc to get lost.

On the other hand it would be possible to to allow for user defined 
blending spaces in some way like in PDF. But that way you preserve 
complexity for rendering time.

Imagine a image completely in gamma 1.8 and I think you get 
what I mean.
