[Openicc] Open Source compatible AdobeRGB profile

[almccart at lexmark.com]

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.
