THe idea of a standard seems to have been abandoned as far as I can
tell from various posts on the colorsync list. Many don't have the
need or time to mess around with all the options, and 6.5kk does eem
to work well for many.
I used 6kk for quite a while, now trying 5.5kk, it's a mood thing. I
don't have sophisticated viewing booths, none seems to really match my
Ottlite. I think becuase it's a bit spikey.
The discussion about viewing light are relevant here.
I wouldn't take recommedations of a hard standard too seriously any more.
