Well, I wasn't even going to /think/ of anything along those lines
until waaaay down the road...but  a similar thought /had/ occurred
to me--that  is, ``Wouldn't it be  wonderful to have a  test chart
optimized  for  black-and-white prints  at  the  expense of  color
prints?'' The idea was much the  same as you describe: nothing but
neutral and near-neutral patches, but  an entire chart filled with
them.   Especially if  it worked  in an  iterative manner  like (I
assume...) the -c flag to targen does....

I'm delighted to learn that you're a step or several ahead of me.

Cheers,
