Andrew, I'm curious if this will hold true if one performs color (and maybe tonal) 
editing operations on the file in the larger editing color space -- could that editing 
cause color to extend into areas present only in the larger space?  More particularly, 
if one opens a sRGB file into PS with sRGB work space, edits colors and tones and 
prints image on a good color printer; then opens the same file into PS with a 
larger-than-sRGB gamut space such as Adobe RGB converting file on open, performs the 
same color and tonal edits and prints the edited file: might the printed images appear 
different?
