Maybe. But I get the impression that often application writers
don't know a whole lot about color management, and therefore
look to the CMM for guidance in what they should do :-)

A real CMM has somewhat more than that in it. Color transforms are
heavyweight in general, so it's good to share the color tables
by caching them in memory. Given that certain transformations
will be quite commonly used by many applications (ie. sRGB ->
the main display), this can be important.
