Their role should be merely to pass through EXIF and/or ICC profiles, and the image stream, and then the system manages color appearance transforms. That's how we get it highly optimized and consistent.

Maybe if we could agree exactly what a color appearance transform is,
we could move from there. Because a simple way to deal with things
would be to require apps to use a big space eg.  Lab, XYZ, or even
(gasp!) ProphotoRGB and then transform from there into display space.
But Graeme tells us this cannot be done ...
