That is correct. The wikipedia article includes a list of CIE illuminants in
both standard observers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant. A
change in observer does not introduce any non-linearity, and so gamma and
tone curves remain the same.
So, we can't use the CIE D65 xy coordinates which are based on the standard

That's likely to make your life easier :)
