Yes, I tried it last night and it works well. Also, I'm relieved to 
know that my method doesn't mess things up. There may be some 
advantages to my method in some situations, such as when montaging 
across multiple files, or when working on one image continuously for 
days, or possibly if I want to embed the dotgain curve in the image 
for reference purposes whenever it is saved. Have to think about that, 
and try out Tyler's method for awhile. A couple of questions:

1) When I open a new image, I have to go through the softproof setup 
anew. This can be put in an action of course and made simple. But it 
seems that there must be some way to get photoshop to always remember 
the softproof setup, so that all one has to do is toggle it on or off 
for any newly opened image.

2) How about reverse-softproofing? That is, set the color settings to 
the custom dotgain, and the softproofing setup to gamma 2.2....the 
real question here is can one toggle on softproofing when wanting to 
print only, and will it convert from that "soft" space to sRGB 
accurately so that your curves could be applied and then print output 
obtained?
