From what I see here:
http://www.openexr.com/TechnicalIntroduction.pdf
chromaticities can be defined for RGB. If they are undefined the document says to assume Rec 709 primaries. Even if the intent is to encode XYZ, actual encoding is RGB while requiring chromaticities to be defined such that RGB is interpreted as XYZ.
