I disagree - XML is a horrible format for human comprehension.

Because it's compact, and quite easily read and written by computer ?
Because the code to read and write ICC profile tags is already present,
and there's no need to introduce another separate library to
do a similar thing ? (You certainly don't want users to have to use a
text editor to configure the printer!)

This is a separate technical argument though, to the issue you raised of
the ICC being a "Club".
