From what I understand they are indeed optimized for that space because the
press world has in the past used that space exclusively. This is not the
case anymore.  As Antonis mentioned, the Adobe (1998) RGB space is gaining
popularity.  

I mistakingly said that Colormatch RGB was larger, I was thinking of Wide
Gamut RGB... in actuality Adobe (1998) RGB is the larger space, it
incorporates more of the cyan/green/yellow in the CIE XYZ model... sorry.

Now we are off topic... <g>   I haven't seen one... I convert my images
destined for web or email with the sRGB IE...2.1 profile.

I hesitate getting into any discussion with you after following your bit
depth talk on the PiezoBW list!.. you scare me. ;-)
