I understand what your saying, but RAW is also euphemistically referred to as a digital negative, and futher processing is implicit, where the same is not true of transparencies, in general.

In truth, RAW is all the rage for many of the same reasons that transparencies are embraced. The RAW image is your basic unadulterated information. Digital jpegs or tiffs are processed by the camera software to default standards. It's something like having your negatives processed in a mini-lab that never tweaks the settings on the machine.
