It's just a matter of history, and it doesn't seem to make a lot of
difference in the quad printing. One of the main differences seems to be the
way the grayscale shadow values are mapped to the RGB values.  sRGB
compressed the shadows a bit, Adobe RGB (the one I'd go with if I was
starting over) is more straight-line.   I'm not sure there is any other
difference that matters.
