Another simple method for improving the accuracy for in-gamut colors in
conjunction with a CIELAB-based B2A table might be the use of sigmoid-shaped
prelinearization tables for the a* and b* channels, such that the CLUT
operates on a distortet Lab space, while it still maps the complete Lab
space to device space, giving a higher accuracy for near neutral colors
(in-gamut) at the cost of a lower accuracy for highly cromatic
(out-of-gamut) colors. Thich would basically also be consistent with the way
how color differences are perceived (e.g. dE CIE94), i.e. near-neutral
colors must be rendered very accurately, while this is not so important for
highly crhomatic colors.
And of course, since the B2A table is only 3D, while a CMYK A2B table is 4D,
there is also more room for using an even finer grid resolution for the B2A
tables (than for A2B), which also may help a bit to compensate the
deficiencies of the B2A tables (i.e. the "wasted" space).
