There's nothing special about this. In general any transformation from one colorspace to another has to cope with different gamuts. You simply choose how to handle it (ie. clip, perceptually map, etc.) by choosing an intent. It's not unknown to have a mode in an image editor that compresses the gamut of the source so that a very large gamut image can be viewed on a limited gamut display without loosing the ability to be able to see all its color variations. Naturally it will look a lot duller than it will when displayed on the intended device.
