I've got the 2.2 specification in front of me, and ColorSpace is either
0x0001 (sRGB) or 0xFFFF (uncalibrated).  I'll have a hunt and see if
there is a newer specification.

Pretty much, yes.  Eye Of Gnome, the image viewer I've been working
with, using libexif to expose the EXIF to the user so I can use the data
there to create a profile.  I need to find out how to get to the
embedded ICC profile (if present) and try and find a way of wrapping
this in a library.  One option is to move this functionality into GTK+,
the widget set for the GNOME desktop.
