How would you go about doing this in practice? Is it even possible to
choose a subset of sRGB space and have printers take advantage of that when
doing gamut mapping? (I guess I always assumed that printer gamut mapping
applied to an RGB image would map all of RGB into their gamut, so there
would be no advantage to restricting oneself go a subspace. But maybe I'm
wrong -- color management is pretty fancy these days.)
