 IMHO about white balancing while RAW to RGB conversion: I think there is no 
white balancing during RAW conversion if the result is not color managed by the 
converter. It's just normalization. The normalization to some "standard" image 
state when typical white in RGB-image is about R=G=B. This normalization is not 
necessary in general.
In color managed workflow the RAW conversion should be done all the same way as 
while shooting the target. I.e. without "balancing". White balancing should be 
done after application of camera profile, in color space not in device space. 
But I didn't know at the moment how to change WB of image with camera profile 
by means of ArgyllCMS? How to apply certain chromatic adaptation to the image 
in known color space?
