Graeme, I guess it is rather not like absolute colorimetric in the traditional 
sense, but more like "ICC absolute", i.e. a perceptual transformation which 
basically maps the PCS gray axis [0,0,0]...[100,0,0] to a gray axis with 
illuminant chromaticity (not paper chromaticity), while scaling down the 
luminance (from 100 to paper white) and possibly bending the gray axis towards 
paper white at the top in order to avoid the otherwise inevitable clipping.

Regards,
Gerhard
