Just to clearify, the consensus was to not to establish a different 
default rendering for a
entrance image space -> editing space  in opposite to a
editing space -> display space  
conversion in a preference dialog.
Both conversions should start from the same default rendering intent,
independent from the question whether a applications provides further 
choices or not.
