Sorry if I come back to monitors in analogy to printing. Buts thats
what is implemented already.

The device infos in ICC is fast enough, that I decided to use it for 
speeding up monitor profile selection. On the fly ICC profile generation 
from EDID is slower. see here:

I think most users want implicite colour management, some kind of 
automatic profile selection. Most people I know do not want to explicitely 
configure their devices ICC profiles. They have other things to do.
So I had a problem. To get the devices colour managed, I could configure 
all by hand myself or make it working automatic. I obviously preferd the 
later.
