Actually, I think the approach would be from the other end: what's the XYZ
color that causes clipping at maximum RGB,
Interesing is the point, where clipping _starts_. And since there exist an
infinite number of XYZ triples which would cause clipping to maximum RGB, it
is better to approach the starting point from the other side, where the RGB to
XYZ function is still bijective.
but just barely, and causes no clipping at all for RGB values just a smidge
less?
Again, empirically, the synthetic D50 white patch I manually added does exactly
that:
1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 [RGB] -> Lut -> 100.000000 0.000090 -0.000032 [Lab]
0.999999 0.999999 0.999999 [RGB] -> Lut -> 99.999950 0.000090 -0.000047 [Lab]
0.999999 1.000000 1.000000 [RGB] -> Lut -> 99.999998 -0.000105 -0.000068 [Lab]
1.000000 0.999999 1.000000 [RGB] -> Lut -> 99.999939 0.000352 -0.000205 [Lab]
1.000000 1.000000 0.999999 [RGB] -> Lut -> 100.000000 0.000006 0.000164 [Lab]
That seems to me to show the maximum possible preservation of highlights
without compromising the white point, which I should think is the exact desired
outcome.
Well this is eventually a tautology.
Note, the brightest patch in the .ti3 file becomes the media white point, and
when applying a profile with relative colorimetric intent, then the media white
point will _always_ map to D50 in the PCS, regardless its absolute XYZ color.
I.e. _any_ absolute XYZ color associated with the "WHT" patch will eventually
map to white, if the profile is applied with relative colorimetric intent, and if the WHT
patch is the britghtes one.
But not any XYZ color of WHT is consistent with the other readings in the .ti3
file.

Gerhard
