FYI Brad,

Here is a new test with the Photoshop color setting to Absolute:

Beta RGB:     20, 10, -11  6452, 1299, -1374  6452, 1299, -1374
Absolute:     20, 10, -11  6460, 1308, -1374  6420, 1305, -1382
Relative:     19, 10, -11  6235, 1300, -1348  6194, 1296, -1358
Relative+BPC: 20,  9, -10  6615, 1182, -1332  6611, 1213, -1276

The first row are the 8 and 16-bit Lab values in BetaRGB. 

The first set of 16-bit values are using Microsoft ICM, the second set Adobe
ACE.  The 8-bit values are the same for both CMMs.

It's not possible to enter a color in 16-bit unfortunately.  

I'm a bit surprised to find the BPC altering the 'a' value so much (looking
at the 16-bit values).  ICM is worse than ACE here. I would have thought BPC
would alter the 'L' value and not the 'a' and 'b' values.
