By discussing here, you turned yourself into a contributor to the definition of that future workflow and feature set. Since you know quite a lot and have an opinion, why not suggest how it *should* work, in your opinion, along the constraints that the conversions will only ever happen upon import and export (plus the possibility to convert a buffer in order to correct wrong profiles).
