Is it also intended as a destination profile when mapping from another v2 workspace? If not, how does one get one's image into the sRGB v4? The issue I'm trying to address is converting to sRGB for web viewing when the normal relative colorimetric intent does a bad job. I would then like to be able to try a perceptual mapping (which isn't possible with the v2 matrix-based profiles). My original question was whether or not it would be possible to construct a v2 table-based sRGB profile so that a perceptual mapping could be used (with a final conversion to the standard matrix-based sRGB profile, presumably). Or perhaps it has already been done?

When converting to a (matrix-based) working space, you'll loose the ability to get a true perceptual mapping.
