PhotoShop Color Gamut Too Limited?

[Chuck Molnar <ccmm@worldnet.att.net>]

Why does PhotoShop use a color gamut smaller than the Standard Human 
Observer (CIE
xyY chromaticity diamgram)?  Won't this cause a problem for archiving 
images (by
artificially limiting gamut, i.e., changing the original image)?  Won't 
this cause a future problem
by not being able to represent out-of-gamut colors?  Doesn't this cause 
a problem
today by not being able to represent wide-gamut colors (from some inks 
or digital I/O devices)?
