The documentation says intent 0 which uses CIECAM Jab and white point

No. ICC specification of intents is very general. Both these intents fall within the description of ICC absolute intent, but the former should have better behaviour for out of gamut colors.

Section 6.2.3 ICC-absolute colorimetric intent
  Transformations for this intent shall leave the chromatically adapted 
tristimulus
  values of the in-gamut colours unchanged.
