Hmm. I'm don't think that the PRMG helps in any way. You still need to identify
the source gamut. If your source profile is ProPhoto, what gamut is mapped
to the PRMG in the A2B table ? If you map the ProPhoto gamut, most images
encoded in that space will end up looking very dull when linked with
(say) a printer profile that then maps from the PRMG to the printer gamut.
