One of the reason to not include a color profile in the standard distribution is that it's an advanced topic, a field for an advanced user. It's quite easy to make pdf that looks ok, but are not ok for printing (wrong profile for the medium) or are invalid (it can happen if the pdf has an output intent with a profile A, and the document has a color with different profile B, perhaps in an image). On average the casual user will complain saying "ConTeXt makes wrong pdf", perhaps showing the result from a bugged validator (all already happen, in several situations).

The context meeting is the best place to talk of all these issues.

Ok, I’ll reserve a timeslot for PDF/(X/A/UA) discussion.

Unfortunately, I cannot attend the meeting. I’m not especially interesting in doing the thing myself, but I want to be able to use it. BTW, Luigi, not including the profiles doesn’t prevent people messing things, since they aren’t included and complaints had taken place. Of course, I would be very interested in the results from the discussions in the next meeting. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
