On the other hand, its really fun to take a Monaco profile and print through 
it at Relative Colorimetric with Black Point Compensation OFF... and watch it 
clip all values below about 32 to zero! Can't seem to have   it both ways... 
and since only Adobe applications have this feature, a profile thats designed 
to use it, is not usable in other applications or RIPs. Which is why we are 
reluctant to follow that route...
