Genuine Fractals needs to be treated like many other non-color managed 
applications; if you convert from a workingspace RGB image, or a specific 
CMYK device profile, through GF, then at the other end you need to be sure to 
open in that same space, or the color numbers will be misinterpreted. Thats 
what tags are there to avoid... and things get more complicated if they start 
talking about being able to place GF files in layout appplications and the 
like... then the profile is the only hope of managing color.  So if Genuine 
Fractals is serious about moving into the big leagues as a compressed image 
format it will need to deal with ICC profile tagging. As long as it is an 
in-house  system for smoother upsampling, it can live without it.
