Yes, that's true on tags, but this is a header field. Anyway I think you are right and storing a value other than the registered ones should not represent an error. iccDump issues a warning, but for many quality teams this is enough to spot an issue. ICC suggests to register the signature because in this way we avoid the mess of everybody using his own signature to point same thing. Registration is free of charge. So, using *nix is Ok, but registering it would assure every tool reading *nix would understand the same. > To avoid a perception of bias in favor of only large commercial platforms, > the ICC should either open the platform tag list up to registrations > in exactly the same manner as CMM's or devices, or deprecate it. I think it is open in the same manner of CMM. Ok, I will bring that to the ICC.
