Yes, let's add extrapolation to interpolation; let's say all is OK when image
is technically ruined.

Of course you understand that Adobe are serving the market, and that does not
mean they are serving any particular photographer, or any particular need.
Adobe are a market-driven company. When it comes to Adobe resources, one of
their most valuable resources is Dave Coffin and his free open-source dcraw
converter.
Being a clever engineer does not mean being a photographer or any visual person
for that matter, it just means being a clever engineer. Experienced engineers
killed Kodak.
From the engineering point of view both DNG and DCP approaches address past,
not future.

DNG is a box containing the data; what matters is - can you understand that
data? DNG specs explicitly allow undisclosed tags.
