As Carolyn pointed out, you are not bound by anyone's defaults. Adobe 1998 
has gained popularity and has the added benefit of 2.2 gamma. I suggest 
reading Real World Photoshop for a far more lucid explanation.

Just beware (be aware) of the assumptions that photoshop uses to make that 
conversion. It is not an "objective" switch set in stone. Your gray set up plays a 
part and so does your RGB set up. All this before Paul's curves kick in. Maybe 
you knew that, but I know many who don't.
