Michael Henning did understand and did make appropriate changes to
babl's hard-coded sRGB Y values. But I doubt whether any of the other
devs understood; if they did, babl wouldn't still use D65 device sRGB to
convert to XYZ before converting to LAB, and GIMP wouldn't still be full
of hard-coded D65 device sRGB Y values. See:

Sorry, typo, the "See:" is misplaced. It should read:
