I know 80 may sound shocking but I am suprised by the range of low luminances
that works in a direct screen to proof match, as long as one has a dimmable
viewing booth.
Calibration is about setting a device in a "known state". The job of standard
is to find common grounds for everybody to use. I work in a large publications
printing environment and you'd be surprised what we're getting away with...

I understand that there could be room for adjustments in function of the
environment, but I don't understand the latter sentence. Calibration is about
everybody having a standardised viewing setup, so when he postprocesses the
photos in a certain way he's sure that other people with proper calibration see
things in the same way. If you calibrate with a dimmer monitor at 80 cdm2, I
suspect that the way you fix shadows will make them appear brighter than they
should on my monitor at 120 cdm2.
