This is an even easier workflow for the user, and for coding. And doesn't result in the rather obvious mismatch you otherwise end up with between a native document in one space, and the PDF document in another space.

I haven't used it so I may be misunderstanding something. What I've read leads me to believe the user can choose different color spaces for their document other than sRGB. But when saving the document as TIFF, PNG, or PDF, it will be converted to sRGB first.

If that's correct, there is no point in documents being in anything other than sRGB from the get go.
