Yep, that's right.  And Epson would certainly release it when they
blow (some) aftermarket color pigments out of the water.

The Aardenburg folks have more of the Consumer Reports model,
including reporting your own experiences (you can sign up for testing
using your particular inkset/paper
http://aardenburg-imaging.com/acceleratedagingtests.html ).  I find
their results more interesting than WIR as they show you fading per
color over time.
