It does  indeed, and myself as well. Even before Create ICC, we were
doing this with profiles made from the EyeOne Photo hack, or
ProfilerPro. All of the images om my website and the gallery section
of the Custom Digital site were made using an icc profile to show the
hue of the quad inks selected for the print, even a split-tone by Mel
Curtis. They were converted to sRGB for the web of course.
Also, a similar aproached was used to assign the hue of Cone's
selenium set to an image and then print with UCK3s on SilverRag, and
it was lovely. Much more atractive than a straight ABW print. You
could work forever trying to duplicate the look of an inkset with
curves etc., but a good profile of it will get you all the
complexities in one simple move.
There are all kinds of great ways to use profiles, and Create ICC has
become a great tool here.
