Which term would you suggest ?  "Editing Space" ?

I think this was the intention; working space == editing space.

As we often see device depented colour spaces for editing, we might 
specify alternatives. Ok, XYZ is maybe overkill. But as Lab can be better 
beheave than standard PCS/CIE Lab there should be an option. For editing 
in Lab, such an option might be worth to include. As well, users dont need 
to set anything, as Oyranos should ship with default settings. The profile 
defaults are for experts, which may want to change something.
