I'd be confident calling this a bug largely because any assumptions of
color space, including transfer curve as in this instance, will often
lead to unintended consequences. Again too, the notion that a
conversion to sRGB transfer curve happens likely means the node is
fundamentally problematic in a scene referred paradigm.

Sure, the label might be improved, but "Offset + Slope" isn't likely handy.

There _is_ a correct gain as well as reference ASC CDL transforms
provided via OCIO, and perhaps we can more further integrate the API
into adjustments such as this example?

With respect,
