the current ICC profile connection space is an ideal print, or maybe an

for transparent display, translucent display, motion picture display and
other additive systems like CRTs LCDs etc. this means you have to create
information to render the ideal print to these spaces

wouldn't it be better too have an ideal additive system as the profile
connection space and compress the tone and color the data for prints, as
opposed to creating information for additive systems

probably would lead to more precise capture rendering too

I beg your pardon, but one of the choices for the profile connection
space is XYZ which is a perfectly linear, additive system.

not exactly, you can't have an absolute profile connection space and
have appearance matching, you need a reference medium for the profile
connection space, which there is

D50 would be a better choice for an ideal additive reference system, it
could be used for some systems looking beyond the visual spectrum also,
whereas XYZ is limited to the visual spectrum
