Why does Photolab not embed ICC profiles in output?

As pointed out above by Paul (in the “PL7 wish list” link), PhotoLab is conforming to the EXIF standard. Applications that can’t see that the ColorSpace tag is set to “sRGB” and thus insist on an embedded profile are not conforming to the standard. Why does DxO need to document this? I agree that it’s a problem, and it would be nice if PhotoLab provided an option to embed the color profile for sRGB, but it shouldn’t be necessary because that’s what the ColorSpace tag is for!
