Martin,

"common practice" and "quite some time" for whom?  How long have you had
anything to do with digital imaging, seriously?  I've been at this 25 years,
and only in the past few years, because of all the
misunderstanding/misinformation on the web, combined with non-technical (as
in home owners etc.) people getting into digital imaging, and the
proliferation of cheap scanners, have I seen this density range/dynamic
range misinterpretation "crop up" ;-)
