I'd tend to add a faked white patch with RGB_R=RGB_G=RGB_B=100 and 
"corresponding" XYZ numbers to the .ti3 file. It may be a bit problematic 
though to estimate the XYZ numbers of this patch, as this involves 
extrapolation and potentially even clipping (if a profile with CIELAB PCS is 
used for estimating the XYZ numbers from the RGB numbers with icclu). And if Y 
of the faked white patch happens to be greater than 100, then it may also be 
necessary to downscale/darken all XYZ numbers in the .ti3 file correspondingly.

Gerhard
