The only misinformation (note my more polite choice of terms here) on this 
topic that I have noticed has been your statement that there is no lighting 
standard for signage. I have worked in the field of color management for a decade, 
and had dozens of clients in the signage field. I agree that what lighting 
signage ends up under totally uncontrolled... but the proofing light standard 
used for signage has been pretty well agreed upon for many years, and is getting 
codified along with other graphics arts usages at D50. Since this has little 
to do with fine art black and white printing, I'll leave it at that...
